To make live or let die? Rural dispossession and the protection of surplus populations [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
My essay concerns the politics of making live, or letting die, and the struggles that shape the way the equation is resolved for different segments of the global population. While Foucault highlighted the general historical conditions for the emergence of biopolitics, that is, an orientation to intervene in populations to enhance their health and wellbeing, he had little to say about when or how this orientation would be activated. Nor did he say much about the politics of let die scenarios: why governing authorities would elect not to intervene when they could, or select one subset of the population for life enhancement while abandoning another.
