Discipline

According to Foucault, biopower is the power of biography (making biographical profiles of human populations for risk management), and it is different than discipline which is "the techniques and practices by which the human body is make subject to regular and predictable routines" and sovereignty which is "the command of central authority over territory" (Ericson & Haggerty, 1997, p. 91).

Foucault aw discipline, sovereignty and government as a triangle of interconnectivity (Nadesan, 200, p. 7).
