Franz Neumann

Franz Neumann was a political theorist and scholar best known for his analysis of power, politics, and society. He studied how governments and political systems operate, especially under authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. His work examined how power is maintained, how political resistance occurs, and the role of ideology. Neumann's insights help us understand the dynamics of political authority and the importance of legal and social institutions in shaping democratic or oppressive systems. His research remains influential in political science, sociology, and studies of authoritarian regimes.
