Inhaltsangabe

'Hugely impressive. Haugaard embraces a wide range of issues and of
relevant thinkers and theories and skilfully deploys the various analytical
distinctions that have surfaced in discussion of power-all within a
framework that gives the reader the sense of moving both forward and
deeper. The product of many years of reflection, this readable book
achieves something very important indeed.' Steven Lukes, Professor of
Sociology, New York University and author of Power: A Radical View 'Power
is one of the most important and yet complex concepts through which we make
sense of social and political life. And no one rivals Mark Haugaard in
analysing equally carefully and vividly the many dimensions of power. The
magnum opus of one of the most powerful and imaginative social theorists of
our time.' Rainer Forst, Professor of Political Theory and Philosophy,
Goethe University Frankfurt 'Pushing the standard actor-agency model toward
Wittgenstein, Schutz, Austin, and cultural theory, Haugaard produces a
dazzling new map of the subtle and complex intertwinings that political and
social power consist of.' Jeffrey C. Alexander, Lillian Chavenson Saden
Professor of Sociology, Yale University
