| Description: |
Power is one of the most central concepts in the social sciences. However, there is no agreement as to what exactly power is, with some theorists/analysts viewing power entirely negatively, as domination, while others insist that power is the basis of autonomy and a means of empowerment. In this volume, it is argued that the concept of power has no single essence, and is best understood as a 'family resemblance' concept, where there are various influential members of the power family. Approaching power from the perspectives of social and political theory, political anthropology, organization studies, gender, political sociology, and international relations, the book examines the most important and influential perspectives on power, and, in doing so, it provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of the field. Partly due to the influence of Foucault, power has become a key orienting concept for all the sub-disciplines of political science. Therefore, this book will be an indispensibl |
| Synopsis: |
Although the concept of power is central to the study of politics, there is no agreement as to what exactly power is. Power is often viewed negatively, as domination, though it is also the case that power is created by people acting in concert, in which case it can have positive effects. Making sense of this puzzle is one of the aims of this book, which provides the reader with a clear and coherent way of understanding the various forms and manifestations of power, and it does so by bringing together the most important and influential perspectives on power within the political and social sciences. |
