Utilizing governmentality studies and a Foucauldian discourse analysis, I find life itself to be given primacy within a biopolitical problem space where the government seeks to contain the spread of Covid-19. The government primarily rationalizes its exercises of power in a liberal manner while employing a complex set of liberal and coercive technologies, which it channels towards both the human population, which serves as an object of administration, and Covid-19, which serves as an object of domination.","PeriodicalId":45560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Power","volume":"14 1","pages":"472 - 492"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2158379X.2020.1870264","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41624647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The four dimensions correspond to four aspects of social interaction. The first dimension refers to the agency-energy aspect of interaction. The second concerns the structural components. The third concerns the epistemic element of interaction. The fourth relates to the social ontological elements of social subjects. The theory has implications for both normative and empirical research. Normatively the theory provides a pragmatist power-oriented way of building democratic theory. Empirically the theory provides a power-oriented conceptual map of everyday interaction.","PeriodicalId":45560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Power","volume":"14 1","pages":"153 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2158379X.2021.1878411","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42513644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this case study we apply the four-dimensional model of power, namely, 1-D Agency, 2-D Structure, 3-D System of Thought and 4-D Social Ontology. We show that in this project consensus on 3-D interpretation and 4-D self-restraint is weak and the 1-D and 2-D power relationships are unfocused. Yet, outcomes were realised due to an underlying 3-D unity around the right to housing. The findings reveal the relevance, but also complexity of applying the four-dimensional model in heterogenic settings.","PeriodicalId":45560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Power","volume":"14 1","pages":"131 - 152"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2158379X.2021.1878410","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45097536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gallarotti","doi":"10.1080/2158379X.2021.1876990","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/2158379X.2021.1876990","url":null,"abstract":"The summer of 2019 marked the 40th anniversary of the founding of what has become known as the ‘power group,’ more formally known as International Political Science Association (IPSA) Research Committee 36. The group celebrated the event with a conference in Moscow, the very location in which the first meeting of the group took place in 1979 under the guidance of the founder David Baldwin (who also attended the anniversary conference). It was an event that brought old and new members together in a spirit of friendship and scholarship. Within the group much had changed, but much had remained the same. Certainly the city was quite different after the fall of the Iron Curtain and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The demographics and geography very much mirrored the study of power over the past 40 years. Much was new, or was it? In the proceedings and lively discussions over wonderful Russian cuisine, one dinner being held on a river cruise, it became clear that there were a great many ideas about power that emerged over these four decades. The ideas manifest fundamental categories of research in the social sciences: epistemological, ontological and normative. But the discussion also suggested that the nuances were unfolding within philosophical contexts that were quite familiar. Many questions emerged. Had things really changed in the study of power, or were we actually still caught in a theoretical loop that was recycling since the foundations laid by Plato and Aristotle? Was there indeed a fundamental shift in the theoretical or purported ontological ‘mean,’ or simply variations around an unchanging ‘mean’? Was the lens through which power was understood driven more by a quest for knowledge or for the purpose of creating better systems of governance? Was power pure and unified, or was it composed of many elements? If indeed a mélange of elements, were they independent or interactive? How many faces did power really have? Should we even understand power as having faces? The debates continued well into the evenings, and well past the dessert and coffee. Few iron laws of power emerged from the gathering, and yet many agreed that the sacrosanct boundaries that defined our interests in power were very much alive and well. It is only fitting that in Moscow we witnessed another round of revolution, but in this case with somewhat more moderate radicals. Most of these papers were delivered at the conference, with some added later. They represent a broad swatch of thinking about power over the last 40 years, by some of the leading scholars on the subject of political power from differing disciplines in the social sciences. Indeed, we are all grateful to the distinguished contributors of this special issue for sharing with us stimulating ideas about one of the most important subjects in the social sciences. And in their words, we are comforted both by exciting new possibilities, but also by time-honored modes of understanding power.

Concerning agents and structures, the neorepublican focus on dominators’ wills needs broadening, replacing intentions with interests, since their power can be routine and unconsidered, and extend across generations. Neorepublicans see domination as a potential rendering others vulnerable; here the view needs to be narrowed to specify which potential dangers are relevant. There is no convincing way of determining what counts as dominating power that does not derive from one or another moral and political standpoint. These hard questions are and must remain open.","PeriodicalId":45560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Power","volume":"14 1","pages":"97 - 108"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2158379X.2021.1878408","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46846146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that this way of conceiving world politics was (a) always problematic and challengeable, and (b) time-bound and increasingly anachronistic. In the 21st century world politics is becoming increasingly multi-nodal and characterised by heterarchy – the predominance of cross-cutting sectoral mini- and meso-hierarchies above, below and cutting across states. These heterarchical institutions and processes are characterized by increasing autonomy and special interest capture. In this context, states today are no longer primarily ‘guardian states’ but more and more ‘reactive states’; state capacity is not simply eroded but entangled in hybrid structures and processes. A fundamental paradigm shift is required in our understanding of how world politics works.","PeriodicalId":45560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Power","volume":"14 1","pages":"235 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2158379X.2021.1879574","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47864109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Why More Civil Society Will Not Lead to Less Domination: Dealing with Present Day State Phobia through Michel Foucault and Neo-Republicanism","authors":"O. Larsson","doi":"10.1080/2158379X.2021.1889155","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/2158379X.2021.1889155","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT The notion of civil society, as an ontologically distinct sphere, separated from the state thereby serves as an antidote to the sovereign power of the state. Since the 1990s, we have seen reforms and organizational structures that advances the role of the market as well as the civil society along with a voluntary sector, often with the deliberate attempt to disrupt the power of the state and to tame the Leviathan through the promotion of networks, partnerships, co-governance and collaboration. This can be understood in terms of a present day state phobia and builds on a liberal conception of negative freedom understood as non-interference. Yet if we take Foucault‘s theorizations of power as omnipresent as it disrupts the power/freedom dichotomy we need to find alternative ways to cope with relations of power in order to not let them deteriorate into relations of domination. I argue in this article that neo-republican ideal of non-domination can be combined with Foucault’s insights on the nature of power. If correct, a continued promotion of more civil society involvement and partnerships between public and private actors provides a false insurance to diminish domination in contemporary societies.","PeriodicalId":45560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Power","volume":"14 1","pages":"258 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2158379X.2021.1889155","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41735593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
