Governmentality
Dean, M. 1999. Governmentality: power and rule in modern
society. Los Angeles: Sage Publications.
“How the regime has a technical or technological dimension
and analyses the characteristic techniques, instrumentalities
and mechanisms through which such practices operate, by
which they attempt to realize their goals , and through which
they have a range of effects” (Dean 1999: 22).

EU Integration: Harmonization
Barry, A. 2001. Political Machines: Governing a Technological Society. London
and New York: Athlone Press.
“The process of standardization is intended as a process of
deterritorialisation in which the mobility of capital or labor is unimpeded
and across which uniform forms of social and environmental regulation are
possible. But it is also a process which simultaneously forms new zones of
control and regulation and creates new sites, object and forms of political
conflict” (84).
