The Wiv referendum: A Foucauldian analysis about the debates surrounding the Dutch intelligence services law

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)
This thesis investigates the presence of biopolitical discourse, based on Foucault's concept of biopolitics, in the Dutch debate surrounding the new intelligence services law (Wiv 2017). This thesis argues that governmental political parties justify the implementation of the Wiv by referring to international threats and the necessity to tackle these threats by measures that invade the privacy of individual citizens.
