Power and domination are central concepts in social science yet, up to now, they have been undertheorized. This wide-ranging book guides students through the complexities and implications of both concepts. It provides systematic accounts of current debates about the dynamics and rationale of state power in an era of globalization, social citizenship and the significance of social movements. The contributions of Parsons, Giddens, Foucault, Mann, Arendt, Habermas and Castells are clearly set out and critically assessed.
Stewart’s analysis is a major contribution to the understanding of power and domination in late modernity. Importantly, following developments in critical theory, Stewart reasserts the necessary normative dimension of such theorising in relation to the composition and functioning of the public sphere. Stewarts work is essential reading for anyone interested in the possibility of practical politics of social transformation. I unhesitatingly recommend this work. -- Dr James Howley
