Power is arguably one of the key concepts within the social sciences.
The SAGE Handbook of Power is the first touchstone for any student or researcher wishing to initiate themselves in the state of the art.
Internationally acclaimed, Stewart R Clegg and Mark Haugaard have joined forces to select a collection of papers written by scholars with global reputations for excellence. These papers bridge different conceptual and theoretical positions and draw on many disciplines, including politics, sociology and cultural studies. The sweep and richness of the resulting handbook will help readers contextualise and grow their understanding of this dynamic and important subject area.
