Abstract

Starting from Michel Foucault’s considerations dedicated to economic knowledge (especially in Il faut défendre la société and Naissance de la biopolitique), this paper is about setting up a possible theoretical framework in which to situate the relationship between political power and neoliberalism as they appear in their modern articulation, analyzing in depth how international governmental organizations - such as, for example, the European Central Bank, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund - are involved in this process. Keywords: neoliberalism, denationalization, foucault, international organizations, European Central Bank
