The third edition of this seminal work includes the original text, first
published in 1974, the updates and reflections from the second edition
and two groundbreaking new chapters. Power: A Radical View assesses
the main debates about how to conceptualize and study power, including
the influential contributions of Michel Foucault. The new material
includes a development of Lukes's theory of power and presents empirical
cases to exemplify this.
Including a refreshed introduction, this third edition brings a book
that has consolidated its reputation as a classic work and a major
reference point within Social and Political Theory to a whole new
audience. It can be used on modules across the Social and Political
Sciences dealing with the concept of power and its manifestation in the
world. It is also essential reading for all undergraduate and
postgraduate students interested in the history of Social and Political
Thought.
New to this Edition:
- A revised and refreshed introduction
- Two new chapters on 'Domination and Consent' and 'Exploring the Third
Dimension'
