Power and Politics

Power and Politics, along with the companion set Power and Organizations, takes stock of power theory by reviewing its foundations, current status and emerging new directions in both organization studies and political theory. While there is evident synergy and cross-fertilization across the fields of organization studies and political theory, through the impact of work by figures such as Lukes, Bourdieu, Foucault, Haugaard, Clegg, Dean, Allen, and others there is sufficient distinction to warrant two separate but related collections. With Mark Haugaard, a leading figure in the field, as principal editor, Power and Politics focuses on power theory in the context of political power.
