Metamorphoses of Power

From Coercion to Cooperation?
is part of Asian Journal of Social Science , 33 , 1 , Leiden ; Boston : Brill , 2005 , pp. 4 - 22

In probing metamorphoses of power and changing understandings of power, this treatment examines the question of whether there is a general trend from coercive towards cooperative and consensual forms of power over time. This reflection unpacks power in its various dimensions, considers the contributions of Gramsci and Foucault, and then examines the hypothesis of a growing trend towards cooperative forms of power in domestic politics and civil society, and in international politics.
