The term “biopolitics” is either used (1) as a philosophical or sociological term referring to the works of Negri, Agamben, Rose, or Foucault, who focused on the contemporary style of governing populations through biopower, (2) or as an umbrella concept referring to public policies regarding applications of biotechnology and the life sciences. Both usages suggest, stress that biopolitics is a central concept for modern societies.
