For many admirers Foucault's thought provides recourses for resisting neoliberalism听incursions that have dismantled or attacked the welfare state since the 1980s. Some of Foucault's critics, however, suggest just this opposite: Foucault's thinking on governmentality and anti-humanism led him by the late 1970s to political views eerily similar to those held by neoliberals. This conference brings together a number of leading Foucault scholars to discuss the debate over Foucault's relationship to neoliberalism.
