About Security, Territory, Population: Lectures at the College de France, 1977-1978

Marking a major development in Foucault’s thinking, this book derives from the lecture course which he gave at the College de France between January and April, 1978.

Taking as his starting point the notion of ‘bio-power’, introduced both in his 1976 course Society Must be Defended and in the first volume of his History of Sexuality, Foucault sets out to study the foundations of this new technology of power over population. Distinct from disciplinary techniques, the mechanisms of power are here finely entwined with technologies of security, and it is to the 18th century developments of these technologies with which the first chapters of the book are concerned.
