PSCI 045 - Power

Power is essential to politics. Power relationships run the political world, and this class is designed to interrogate those relationships and highlight the side of state politics that is about control, coercion, and domination. Understanding how power operates can help us explain why some authoritarian regimes flourish or how individuals in a country respond to state control. In this class, we investigate a number of power relationships, looking at how the powerful justify their power, how power structures are perpetuated, and why it is so difficult for the powerless to shift the power dynamic.
