SGBS 190 - What is Power?2.00 credit hours
“Power” is a vague word but a very real phenomenon. We all exervise a variety of forms of power over others and we are all subject to others’ exercise of power. Through a series of classic and contemporary texts we will begin by defining a variety of kinds of power, starting with interpersonal and organizational contexts in which power is often exercised through relatively implicit mechanisms. But we will culminate our investigation in international and intercultural contexts, where the exercise of power becomes relatively open and explicit. Throughout, we will also come to understand better what we mean by such related terms as authority, legitimacy, dependence, force, obedience and resistance.
