The Handbook on Governmentality delves into the emergence of an interdisciplinary field of study, centered around Michel Foucault's post-foundationalist concept of governmentality. This concept has been employed to trace the genealogies of modern states, govern societal problems, and govern the self. The Handbook, comprising contributions from a diverse international cohort, explores significant advancements in discussions on governmentality, while also fostering exploration in areas such as climate change, decolonial politics, logistics, and populism. Its chapters delve into how governmentality reshapes policy analysis and political practice, examine the interplay between Foucault's ideas of government and postcolonial experiences, and shed light on the discourse surrounding the green economy and biopolitics. By analyzing the interconnections between contemporary socio-political issues such as feminist politics, migration, and racialized medicine with the concept of governmentality, the Handbook provides valuable insights into the modern applications of Foucault's work. Serving as a comprehensive overview of research on governmentality, this Handbook is indispensable for students and scholars engaged in development studies, geopolitics, political economy, organizational studies, political geography, postcolonial theory, and public policy. It also serves as a valuable resource for policy makers seeking a deeper theoretical understanding of the topic.
