The volume edited by Susanne Krasmann and Michael Volkmer features international contributions from America, Australia, Great Britain, France and German-speaking countries. It is divided into three parts: Governmentality and State, Governmentality

Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality defines a complex of heterogeneous practices directed at the conduct of collective bodies and individuals, including their selfconduct. It has resonated strongly in the social sciences, proving very powerful in the analysis of neoliberal forms of government. Although research on governmentality has been carried out since the 1990s,1 Foucault’s lecture series Sécurité, territoire, population and Naissance de la biopolitique held at the Collège de France in 1977/78 and 1978/79, in which he developed his concept and genealogy of governmentality, have only recently been published in their entirety. The strong German interest in Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality is not least marked by the simultaneous publication of the lectures in French and in German translation in 2004 (the English translation appeared in print 2007/20082). With only archival documents and tape recordings to refer to, Thomas Lemke laid the ground for the German reception of Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality in 1997.3 His book was followed in 2000 by a volume of studies on contemporary forms of governmentality,4 which ultimately established the analytical concept of governmentality in the social sciences. Since then, the production of literature on the subject has been prolific.
