Scope/Description:

Since Aristotles classification of political systems power has been one of the most central and debated themes of the social sciences. Yet despite its centrality there has been little consensus on what constitutes the essence of power. It is part of the raison detre of the Journal of Political Power to capitalize on the consequent debates surrounding power.In political science there have been continual debates from Dahl to Lukes and recently between followers of Foucauldian perspectives and more modernist view points. These have centred on the contrast between power in terms of agency and the way in which social consciousness create conditions of possibility for action or differential capacities. If we move into a cognate discipline such as International Relations we find that the area is divided between those who consider power purely in terms of material resources and those who argue that it is defined by ideas and perceptionssocalled realistsand idealists A similar division is found in politicalsociology where some focus upon power in terms of legitimacy and authority while other more hardheaded theorists view it Machivallian terms of war and deceit.In political philosophy the key division lies between those who consider power as defined by its exercise its effects intentions and potentialities. In rational choice theory power is divided between those who view it positionally almost as a kind of luck and those who see it as episodic.In anthropology in contrast to all the above power is theorized in terms of rituals and ceremony.In sociology there is a clear division between those influenced by Marxism who define power in terms of class or economy and the followers of the tradition of Weber who consider power as linked to authority and domination.
