Biopolitical Implications

Meaning

Biopolitical implications refer to the ways political power, societal structures, and governmental policies exert influence over biological life, health, and the human body. This concept examines how decisions made at a collective level shape individual physiological experiences, access to care, and the very definition of wellness and pathology within a population. It underscores the inherent connection between public policy and personal health outcomes, moving beyond a purely individualistic view of health.
