European Security Governance: Analysing a Regime of Practices on the Basis of Michel Foucault's Governmentality Theory Lora Pissareva

This work aims at examining European security governance through Foucauldian notions of governmentality. It places a specific focus on questions of crime control, and within the European framework, on the issue of terrorism. The goal is to demonstrate how the analysis of rationalities, programmes and technologies that inhere in European security governance can provide added value to our current understanding about how a particular political sphere is conceived and regulated.
