Forms of Power

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a survey of different forms of power. Firstly, it distinguishes between the power exerted over human beings and that used on inanimate objects. Power over people is classified according to the way it influences an individual, or according to organizations which wield influence. An individual can be influenced through: (a) direct physical force; (b) rewards and penalties as forms of encouragement; (c) opinion-forming (propaganda) or creation of desirable practices. All these forms of power are mixed in functions performed by the state. The functions distinguish between traditional and newly established power, with the latter displaying two forms of expression: revolutionary force and brute force.
