The Constitution of Power: A Theoretical Analysis of Power, Knowledge and Structure

by Mark Haugaard, Nark Haugaard

In the first part of this volume, Haugaard (politics, University College, Dublin) analyses four existing ways of theorizing social power. The work of Robert Dahl, Steven Lukes, Barry Barnes, Michel Foucault, Anthony Giddens, and others is treated. In the second section, a social theory is developed addressing the important aspects not only of the relationship between power, knowledge, and structure but also of autonomy, conflict, and domination.
