Biopolitics is a reflexive turn in politics (which typically refers to a state beyond existential necessities) insofar as it places at the innermost core of politics that which usually lies at its limits, namely, the body and life.
Neoliberalism is often treated overly narrowly as an ideology, as a manipulative 'wrong knowledge' or 'faulty theory' of society and economy which must be corrected by some 'true' or 'real' mechanism of politics.
Neoliberalism is often treated overly narrowly as the extension of economy into the domain of politics, it is the triumph of capitalism over the state, and the globalisation that escapes the political regulations of the nation-state.
Neoliberalism is often treated overly narrowly as what might be called 'a practical anti-humanism' owing to its devalution of traditional experience, its emphasis on individualization which endangers collective bonds, the imperatives of flexibility, mobility and risk taking that threaten family values and personal affiliations.
