Argues that the rise of professions in the modern world has been central to the development of governmentality. Borrowed from Michel Foucault (1979 [see abstract 82M2377]), governmentality is defined as a form of power to produce & organize information for the regulation of peoples that arose in Europe, 16th-19th century. According to this interpretation, the long-standing controversy in the literature over whether & how much professions are autonomous from the state is misguided, because it assumes that professions & government are separate from one another. An appeal is made to the work of M. S. Larson (1977), A. Abbott (1988), & P. Starr & E. Immergut (1987), as exemplars of an emerging tradition that points the way to an understanding of professions not as an entity, but as forms of knowledge in a constant state of production. From this view, the state & professions are engaged in a mutual process of the construction of political problems, the means & instrumentalities for solving them, & thus, of governmentality itself. 24 References.
