Security, Territory, Population: Lectures at the College de France, 1977 - 78 - Paperback

by M. Foucault (Author), Arnold I. Davidson (Editor), Graham Burchell (Translator)

This book derives from Foucault's lectures at the College de France between January and April 1978, which can be seen as a radical turning point in his thought. Focusing on 'bio-power', he studies the foundations of this new technology of power over population and explores the technologies of security and the history of 'governmentality'.
