Social and Political Power: A book series published by Manchester University Press.
Editor: Giulio M. Gallarotti
Overview:
Power is one of the most fundamental concepts in social science. Yet, despite the undisputed centrality of power to social and political life, few have agreed what it is or how it manifests itself. Perspectives on Social and Political Power is a book series which aims to provide a forum for this absolutely central, and much debated, social phenomenon. The series is theoretical, in both a social scientific and normative sense, yet also empirical in its orientation. Theoretically it is oriented both towards the Anglo-American tradition, including Dahl and Lukes, as well as to the Continental perspectives, influenced by Foucault and Bourdieu, as well as Arendt and the Frankfurt School. Empirically, the series is oriented toward scientific and policy or practitioner oriented analysis.
