In this accessible and sophisticated exploration of the nature and
workings of social and political power, Mark Haugaard examines the
interrelation between domination and empowerment. Building upon the
perspectives of Steven Lukes, Michel Foucault, Amy Allen, Hannah
Arendt, Anthony Giddens, Pierre Bourdieu and others, Haugaard
offers a clear theoretical framework, delineating power in four
interrelated dimensions. The first and second dimensions of power
entail two different types of social conflict. The third dimension
concerns tacit knowledge, uses of truth and reification. Drawing
upon genealogical theory and accounts of slavery as social death,
the fourth dimension of power concerns the power to create social
subjects. The book concludes with an original normative pragmatist
power-based account of democracy. Offering lucid and entertaining
illustrations of complex theoretical perspectives, this book is
essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates and academics,
while offering an indispensable guide for activists wishing to
understand domination, resistance and empowerment. -- .
