    Abstrakt

    This entry describes and analyzes Michel Foucault's concept of governmentality as an object and field of study, a chronological narrative, and a kind of power. It emphasizes the way in which it connects government to self-government, its distinctive approach to liberalism and neoliberalism as an art of government, and its place within the contemporary social sciences as the subfield “governmentality studies.”
