Davidson"Publisher's notePicador is proud to publish the fifth volume in Foucault's prestigious, groundbreaking series of lectures at the College de France from 1970 to 1984 Marking a major development in Foucault's thinking, this book takes as its starting point the notion of "biopower," studying the foundations of this new technology of power over populations. Distrinct from punitive disciplinary systems, the mechanisms of power are here finely entwined with the technologies of security. But in this volume, Foucault beings to turn his attention to the history of "governmentality," shifting from the question of biopower to that of government. In light of Foucault's later work, these lectures illustrate a radical turning point at which the transition to the problematic of the "government of self and others" would begin.
