Description

A definitive collection of essays by one of the leading living theorists of social power, brought together here for the first time.

In this consolidated summation of his works, Steven Lukes reflects on the central questions and changing nature of 'the power debate' as it has evolved since the publication of his seminal work Power: A Radical View. Including six essays on power as it relates to central themes of truth, domination and moral responsibility, and engaging with nine influential recent and contemporary theorists of power, Power and Domination and Other Essays provides a major critique of a debate that remains as alive and contentious as ever.

Bringing up to date Lukes's work on power in one accessible volume, this book is an essential companion to Power: A Radical View, now in its third edition, and useful for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of social and political thought, political science and political sociology.
