Description: Analysing Social Policy : A Governmental Approach, Hardcover by Marston, Greg (EDT); Mcdonald, Catherine (EDT), ISBN 1845425073, ISBN-13 9781845425074, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The authors of these 12 papers have been influenced by the Michel Foucault's writings about "governmentality" in the 1970s and 80s, in which he linked the actions and structures of the state to the complex ways in which people are managed and administered in families, educational setting, workplaces, and other environments, and thus aim to extend this understanding of "governmentality" into the analysis of social policy. The editors (social policy, U. of Queensland, Australia) have structured the papers around three themes that alternately examine the governing that occurs through social institutions and territorial boundaries; the governing of human life through the regulation and administration of the health and wellbeing of the population (Foucault's "bio-power"), and the way new natural and social scientific technologies are absorbed into governing structures and practices.
