This has progressively led these authors to consider the making of a neoliberal governmentality or ways of governing liberal advanced democracies based upon three ideas:
1 A new relation between expertise with knowledge accumulated in management tools and calculating techniques.
2 A new pluralization of ‘social technologies’ and the ‘deassembling’ of governmental activities.
3 A new spefication of the subject of government.
For the purposes of this chapter, it suffices to concentrate on one dimension informed by Foucault’s discussion of governmentality but also by the developments of the conceptualization in terms of governance, i.e. policy instruments and instrumentation.
