In the Caribbean, starting with meteorological observation technologies and the transfer of the meteorological observation of the physical phenomenon hurricane into a societal, economic, and spatial risk, a mosaic of problematizations, rationalities, and practices aimed at ordering and governing space and population unfolds. Based on empirical material gathered to analyze the government of hurricanes in the Caribbean, this paper discusses possibilities to combine riskscapes and governmentality. The thesis of the paper is that, on its analytical level, the concept of riskscapes does not sufficiently address issues and effects of power relations. The paper addresses this gap by including Foucault’s reflections on governmentality. For this purpose, the paper presents two theoretical chapters, one on the concept of riskscapes and one on Foucault’s conceptualization of governmentality. These are followed by an empirical chapter in which the complex of problematization of hurricanes as risk, as well as resulting spatial effects, are highlighted. Moreover, it is shown how the analytical categories of the governmentality perspective can be applied to an investigation of riskscapes. Hereby, it is shown that riskscapes are the result of power relations.

飓风风险和政府管理

在加勒比地区，从气象观测技术开始，并将物理现象飓风的气象观测转化为社会、经济和空间风险，一系列旨在对空间和人口进行排序和管理的问题化、合理性和实践正在展开。基于为分析加勒比地区飓风治理而收集的经验材料，本文讨论了将风险情景与治理相结合的可能性。本文的论点是，在其分析层面上，风险情景的概念并没有充分解决权力关系的问题和影响。该论文通过纳入福柯对治理性的反思来解决这一差距。为此，本文提出了两个理论章节，一种是关于风险情景的概念，一种是关于福柯的治理性概念。接下来是一个经验章节，其中强调了将飓风问题化为风险的复杂性以及由此产生的空间影响。此外，还展示了如何将治理视角的分析类别应用于风险情景的调查。由此可见，风险情景是权力关系的结果。
