The Power Paradox: A Toolkit for Analyzing Conflict and Extremism
reveals how mainstream views of power restrict the conceptual
insights needed to resolve conflict. Anna Bennett insightfully
explores Michel Foucault's work on power and discourse in order to
advance conceptual and contextual tools for understanding power
dynamics. Through an examination of a range of extremist,
terrorist, and counter-terrorist rhetoric, as well as various
theories of power, Bennett analyzes the widespread problems
associated with assuming that power is only repressive and
competitive. This limited view reinforces - often unwittingly -
divisive dynamics and stubborn polemics, which serve to continue
conflict. By offering a comprehensive and constructive view of
power struggles, The Power Paradox argues that power is a
relational dynamic. Bennett identifies fascinating contradictions
within discourses of power and relational dynamics, acknowledging
the enduring quandary of power struggles: we are all implicated
within them.
