Constituent Power - Lucia Rubinelli - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Constituent Power - Lucia Rubinelli - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

From the French Revolution onwards, constituent power has been a key concept for thinking about the principle of popular power, and how it should be realised through the state and its institutions. Tracing the history of constituent power across five key moments - the French Revolution, nineteenth-century French politics, the Weimar Republic, post-WWII constitutionalism, and political philosophy in the 1960s - Lucia Rubinelli reconstructs and examines the history of the principle. She argues that, at any given time, constituent power offered an alternative understanding of the power of the people to those offered by ideas of sovereignty. Constituent Power: A History also examines how, in turn, these competing understandings of popular power resulted in different institutional structures and reflects on why contemporary political thought is so prone to conflating constituent power with sovereignty.

Protean Power - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Protean Power - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Mainstream international relations continues to assume that the world is governed by calculable risk based on estimates of power, despite repeatedly being surprised by unexpected change. This ground breaking work departs from existing definitions of power that focus on the actors'' evolving ability to exercise control in situations of calculable risk. It introduces the concept of ''protean power'', which focuses on the actors'' agility as they adapt to situations of uncertainty. Protean Power uses twelve real world case studies to examine how the dynamics of protean and control power can be tracked in the relations among different state and non-state actors, operating in diverse sites, stretching from local to global, in both times of relative normalcy and moments of crisis. Katzenstein and Seybert argue for a new approach to international relations, where the inclusion of protean power in our analytical models helps in accounting for unforeseen changes in world politics.

Power and Interdependence in Organizations - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Power and Interdependence in Organizations - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Power is an inescapable feature of human existence. It plays a role in all social contexts and is particularly important in the functioning of organizations and work groups. Organizational researchers have certainly recognised the importance of power but have traditionally focused on its negative aspects. Yet power can also have very positive effects. Power and Interdependence in Organizations capitalizes on significant developments in social science over the past twenty years to show how managers and employees can manage power in order to make it a constructive force in organizations. Written by a team of international academics, the book explores both the positive and negative aspects of power, identifying opportunities and threats. It shows that harnessing the positive aspects of power, as well as controlling its more destructive effects, has the potential to revolutionise the way that organizations function, making them both more humane and productive.

Power in Close Relationships - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Power in Close Relationships - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Power is an inherent feature of social interactions, yet it is hard to define and therefore understand. This book is the first to organize current interdisciplinary theorizing and research about power from leading academics in areas such as social psychology, communications, family studies, and public health. It also focuses exclusively on how power operates and affects close relationship processes, while the theoretical insights provided point the way toward new lines of research and understanding. Using specific examples to illustrate complex theoretical explanations and supplying thorough descriptions of the existing literature on power in close relationships, this book is an essential resource for researchers, professionals, students, or laypeople seeking to better understand how power operates in those relationships that are most important to us.

Chinese Soft Power - Maria Repnikova - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Chinese Soft Power - Maria Repnikova - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This Element presents an overarching analysis of Chinese visions and practices of soft power. Maria Repnikova''s analysis introduces the Chinese theorization of the idea of soft power, as well as its practical implementation across global contexts. The key channels or mechanisms of China''s soft power examined include Confucius Institutes, international communication, education and training exchanges, and public diplomacy spectacles. The discussion concludes with suggestions for new directions for the field, drawing on the author''s research on Chinese soft power in Africa.

Sharing Power, Securing Peace? - Julian Wucherpfennig - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Sharing Power, Securing Peace? - Julian Wucherpfennig - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Does power sharing bring peace? Policymakers around the world seem to think so. Yet, while there are many successful examples of power sharing in multi-ethnic states, such as Switzerland, South Africa and Indonesia, other instances show that such arrangements offer no guarantee against violent conflict, including Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Zimbabwe and South Sudan. Given this mixed record, it is not surprising that scholars disagree as to whether power sharing actually reduces conflict. Based on systematic data and innovative methods, this book comes to a mostly positive conclusion by focusing on practices rather than merely formal institutions, studying power sharing''s preventive effect, analyzing how power sharing is invoked in anticipation of conflict, and by showing that territorial power sharing can be effective if combined with inclusion at the center. The authors'' findings demonstrate that power sharing is usually the best option to reduce and prevent civil conflict in divided states.
