Biopolitics is a concept that explores the relationship between politics and human life. It examines how governments regulate populations through policies that affect health, reproduction, and overall well-being. This approach highlights the ways in which state power influences individual lives and societal norms. The term was popularized by philosopher Michel Foucault, who argued that modern states exercise control over bodies and populations. Biopolitics encompasses various issues, including public health, surveillance, and social welfare, reflecting how political decisions can shape the biological and social aspects of life.
