Power (sociology)
Much of the recent
sociological debate on power revolves around the issue of the constraining and/or enabling nature of power. The most comprehensive account of power can be found in
Steven Lukes where he discusses the three dimensions of
power.Thus, power can be seen as various forms of constraint on human
action, but also as that which makes action possible, although in a limited scope. Much of this debate is related to the works of the
French philosopher
Michel Foucault (
1926-
1984), who, following the
Italian political philosopher
Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), sees power as "a complex strategic situation in a given society [social setting]". Being deeply structural, his concept involves both constraint and enablement. For a purely enabling (and voluntaristic) concept of power see the works of
Anthony Giddens.

Poder
Poder (do
latim potere) é, literalmente, o
direito de deliberar, agir e mandar e também, dependendo do contexto, a faculdade de exercer a
autoridade, a soberania, ou o império de dada circunstância ou a posse do domínio, da influência ou da força.A
sociologia define poder, geralmente, como a habilidade de impor a sua vontade sobre os outros, mesmo se estes resistirem de alguma maneira. Existem, dentro do contexto sociológico, diversos tipos de poder: o poder social, o poder econômico, o poder militar, o
poder político, entre outros. Foram importantes para o desenvolvimento da atual concepção de poder os trabalhos de
Michel Foucault,
Max Weber,
Pierre Bourdieu
