This study reconstructs the emergence of 'the preventive gaze' in politics and policymaking and discusses its consequences for the relation between state and society. Prevention seems to be a logical answer in the face of contemporary social issues such as security, education, welfare and public health. However, prevention also has an expansive logic and pushes the state towards an ever more detailed, comprehensive and timely approach to risks. As a consequence, the emergence of the 'prevention state' tends towards a slow and silent politicisation of society and usurpation of the state-free domain.
