Abstract:
|
The recent publication of a second edition of Steven Lukes' Power: A Radical View (2005) fully thirty years after its initial appearance reflects its continuing influence. The new edition, however, has drawn sharp criticisms, three of which are examined in this paper. Peter Morriss charges that PRV is not about power. Clarissa Hayward argues that it ignores structural power. Ian Shapiro charges that its reliance on "real interests" is untenable. Together these criticisms raise the question of whether Lukes’ three-dimensional model of power remains a compelling basis for research. Lukes makes concessions to these critiques but still defends a revised version of his model. I argue that his revisions are helpful but not yet convincing, and I propose moves to reinforce his model. |

| Lukes’ Radical View of Power Redux: Is it Still Compelling? (A Preliminary Draft Prepared for the APSA Conference 2006) The publication in 2005 of an expanded second edition of Steven Lukes’ seminal 1974 book Power: a Radical View (PRV) is a testament to its continuing popularity. While framed by debates in 1970s American sociology and political science Lukes’ intuitive three-dimensional model of power exhibited a combination of breadth and methodological rigor which made it a fertile basis for research |
