This essay juxtaposes two discourses: administrative law and governmentality. Governmentality, a study originating with Michel Foucault, might be defined as a study of how practices of individuality become invested by relations of power such that individuals and families come to enact socially prescribed duties as their own concern. Administrative law is situated at the intersection where the constitutional state, with its rights and limits, interfaces with dominant modalities of governmentality: the risks associated with globalization and needs of the security state. With the end of the New Deal era, administrative law is called upon to adjudicate new issues in the economy of risk management. In this highly discretionary new arena administrators might find both new dangers and new opportunities for democratic action. However, these possibilities depend upon not accepting rigid formalistic definitions of federal/state, public/private, politics/administration, society/individual, or economic/noneconomic
