Nordic Leviathans
A Weberian-Foucauldian Study of the Politics of COVID-19 in Norway and Sweden
Angličtina
356 b
This book offers a theoretical synthesis between the Foucauldian theory of power and the Weberian theory of the state. The book centres on the politics of COVID-19 in Norway and Sweden. It analyses the different tactics, strategies and rationalizations of these states to develop the theoretical framework, while using the theoretical framework to better advance our understandings of the politics of COVID-19 and how state power worked in subtle and overt, direct and indirect, ways, during this crisis. It argues that a marriage between Foucauldian and Weberian theories of the state and power engenders a holistic understanding of how power works at the microlevel and macrolevel. This invites scholars to interrogate the diverse sources of power caged within the modern state, and how these can be enacted through and over society, thereby manifesting as various mechanisms of power.
