Abstract:
In 'Frameworks of Power', Clegg provides a comprehensive account of the different approaches to understanding power and, in the process, presents a fresh synthesis. This overview opens with the classic literature on power as expressed by Machiavelli and Hobbes. Clegg then addresses more recent analyses. Included are the works of American political and social theorists, such as Robert Dahl, Peter Bacharach, Morton Baratz, and Talcott Parsons; the British sociologists, Steven Luke, Anthony Giddens and Michael Mann; the German critical theorist, Jürgen Habermas; and the increasingly important contributions of the French school, Michel Foucault, Bruno Latour and Michel Callon.
