The far-reaching influence of the biopolitical-the relation of politics to life, or the state to the body-is not surprising given its centrality to matters such as healthcare, abortion, immigration, and the global distribution of essential medicines and medical technologies.\u003cp\u003eMichel Foucault gave new and unprecedented meaning to the term \"biopolitics\" in his 1976 essay \"Right of Death and Power over Life.\" In this anthology, that touchstone piece is followed by essays in which biopolitics is implicitly anticipated as a problem by Hannah Arendt and later altered, critiqued, deconstructed, and refined by major political and social theorists who explicitly engaged with Foucault's ideas. By focusing on the concept of biopolitics, rather than applying it to specific events and phenomena, this Reader provides an enduring framework for assessing the central problematics of modern political thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e.
