Tania Li, anthropologist at Dalhousie,
[http://www.dal.ca/~sosawww/faculty/li.htm] has been doing a lot of
writing on Foucault's ideas of governmentality, applied to Indonesian
development and the state. There was a conference paper recently, and
she is working on a book.
The concept is receiving an airing development studies more generally. I
do not confess to be that enthusiastic about its more depressing
conclusions.
