Summary

Power and domination are central concepts in social science yet, up to now, they have been undertheorized. This wide-ranging book guides students through the complexities and implications of both concepts. It provides systematic accounts of current debates about the dynamics and rationale of state power in an era of globalization, social citizenship and the significance of social movements. The contributions of Parsons, Giddens, Foucault, Mann, Arendt, Habermas and Castells are clearly set out and critically assessed. The book is a one-stop guide for any reader interested in the theoretical and practical significance of power and domination in contemporary society. Well illustrated with relevant examples, and mindful of the needs of teachers and researchers, the book is required reading for students of sociology, political science and cultural studies
