Studies in Biopolitics

This book is a collection of multidisciplinary case studies on biopolitical practices and discourses that have been contributed by political scientists and public policy experts, anthropologists and philosophers, biologist and bioethicists, legal scholars, and human rights activists, as well as advanced graduate students at the Central European University (CEU). The majority of the authors have participated in graduate courses in political science, gender studies, and legal studies at CEU, focusing on the human rights aspect of biopolitics and the various forms of commercializing the human body. Some of the case studies have emerged from these courses and thus the chapters of this book are not only thematically interrelated but also share similar analytical perspectives. This is the results of long hours of discussion during the classes, following film screening and emerging after public lectures on biopolitics organized by the Center for Ethics and Law in Biomedicine (CELAB).
