| dc.description.abstract | Power is a central concept used in the domains of political theory, explanatory theory and political practice. Whereas realism in International Relations linked the three domains through the concept of power, subsequent conceptual developments qualified and/or detached these links. Neo-institutionalist power analysis detached power analysis from political theory and developed the contextual setting or translation process via which control over resources can become control over outcomes. In a critique of this intentional and agent-centred analysis, international political economy scholars developed structural power concepts that denote the biased practices and processes via which dependency is (re)produced. Finally, international political sociology scholars focus on the profoundly political processes and rituals of recognition that constitute subjects and their identities, as well as the material and intersubjective contexts in which rank and status are established. Reconnecting explanatory with political theory, they face the risk of a realist fallacy: while all power is about politics, not all politics is about power. | |
