2–707–12706–X.Over the last ten years a series
of social historians have published studies of the link between the
definition of scientific categories and the implementation of
demographic policies in Europe. This discussion of the classification of
populations in terms of social class, race or location (rural, urban,
underprivileged areas) has complicated the traditional theories of the
scientist and politician, Max Weber, and the student of
'bio-power', Michel Foucault. Now, historians of political
ideas are finding living examples to illustrate recent advances in the
sociology of science, establishing themselves at the interface between
the history of human health and that of population policies. The aim is
to throw light on the exchange between scientists and population
management: among the themes to be treated are natalism, populationism,
hygienism and eugenics.
