I saw that and Elden's other exegis on the 1978 and 79 courses. While I like
his expansions on Foucault's work, I didn't really agree with his critique
of Foucault's interpretation of Machiavelli. I thought Foucault was very
rightfully situating the origin of the problematic of territory in
Machiavelli's concept of political survival in The Prince and not exactly
defining Machiavelli as a full-fledged theorist of territory yet, more of an
important precursos.
But maybe I'm wrong.
