Abstract
The exercise of power in global politics—through technologies, institutions, and discourse—has become more complex and more fluid as globalization has increased the connections and struggles among states, international organizations, transnational corporations (TNCs), and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), as well as among individuals and illicit actors. Following Foucault, this volume has explored how different techniques of power have evolved—techniques ranging from sovereign and disciplinary power to regulation or biopower and pastoral power—and what their productive effects have been in terms of global politics today. As the state has expanded its bureaucratic structures and functions, it has been closely associated with these types of power, from premodern forms of sovereign power to modern techniques of discipline, regulation, and pastoral power. More recently, scholars have debated whether or not the state can survive the pressures imposed by globalization and competition from other—sometimes more powerful—actors such as TNCs.
