Power & Authority Political sociology is …. the study of political processes and structures of power G.A. Kourvetaris

Consensus & Conflict Model Consensus - Functional Model … power as capacity of a social system to get things done in the interests of collective goals … equal power Conflict - a form of domination and coercion of one by another

Max Weber ….. on power Power is the probability that one actor within a social relationship will be in a position to carry out his own will despite resistance ……. Politics is striving to share / get power So, who holds power, with which basis and for what purpose?

… types of power Political power Tung Chee-hwa Martin Lee ? Economic power Li Ka-shing & Richard Li Ideological power Rev Kwong-.kit Kwong …examples in Asia or around the world?

Steven Lukes … 3 dimensions of power Decisionalism - observable / overt A get B to do something he would not otherwise do Non-decisionalism issues not being discussed within the political arena Radical absence of conflict reveals the most thoroughgoing use of power in which potential grievances are prevented through the shaping of perceptions / wants

Authority Legitimate power

Rousseau … the strongest man is never strong enough to be always master unless he transform into right and obedience into duty.

Weber… 3 types of legitimacy Traditional - conferred by custom and accepted practice (King Bhumibol, King Sihanouk) Charismatic - charisma (gift of grace) and extraordinary personal qualities of an individual (Li Kuan-yew,) Rational-legal - power authorised by certain legal and bureaucratic procedures (Kim Tae-chun)

John Day Accepting authority - obey voluntarily the laws of government Coercion - obey through fear of punishment

Summary Power - probability that A will act as B wishes (structural perspective) Power -/- Authority (with legitimacy) Authority = Coercion …. when authority loses its legitimacy Authority = most secure and stable form of power

Radical ……. hegemony Antonio Gramsci the bourgeoisie dominated society less by force and more by eliciting consent through using cultural institutions to ensure that its view of the world prevailed

Nicos Poulantzas ... power as ‘the capacity of a social class to realise its specifc objective interests’ Louis Althusser … ideoligical domination to the state through ‘ideological state apparatuses’
