“…With regard to the specific nature of power, Foucault uses the term “conduct”, which means both “lead others” and “a way of behaving” (that is, a problem of self-control (Lemke, 2002)). Foucault argues that “the exercise of power consists in guiding the possibility of conduct and putting in order the outcome” (Foucault, 1982: 789) and he links this to the concept of government (“conduct of conduct”, see also Allen, 1991; McKinlay and Pezet, 2010). Lemke (2002: 50) suggests that the problems of government (and, more broadly, “governmentality”) are the “missing link” between Foucault’s Discipline and Punish (1975a, 1979) and his studies on the “genealogy of the modern State” (see also Tilly, 1975; Poggi, 1978).…”
