This textbook provides a coherent and comprehensive account of the
different frameworks for understanding power which have been advanced
within the social sciences. Though looking back to the classical
literature on power with special emphasis on Machiavelli and Hobbes,
the book concentrates on the modern analysis of power - from both
British and American social and political theorists, and from German
Critical Theory and French theorists such as Foucault - and develops
upon its theory and its application. Not only does the book provide an
overview of the various frameworks of power advanced by these and
other influential thinkers, but it also develops a new synthesis based
on important work in both the sociology of science and the sociology
of organizations. This approach is then applied to key questions in
the comparative historical sociology of the emergence of the modern
state.
