Comparing Estonia and Ukraine, this book explores urban governance through the lens of biopolitics. It examines how geopolitical pressures shape the management of urban populations, revealing how cities become key sites where lifestyle, security, and political calculation intersect.
Drawing on the concept of biopower and projecting it into the realm of the city, this book explores a multidisciplinary comparative analysis of two countries – Estonia and Ukraine – from the viewpoint of urban biopolitics, a concept that allows us to see how various groups of urban populations come into life and why their lifestyles matter for political calculations. It dissects the interconnections between the geopolitical conditions of military conflict with Russia in Ukraine and European institutional membership in Estonia, and forms of urban biopolitical governance. In doing so, the book highlights how cities become sites where global pressures and local political management converge.
