Power Theory

Power Theory examines how individuals or groups influence or control others, often to achieve their goals or protect their interests. It recognizes that power can come from different sources—such as authority, resources, or relationships—and that people use this power in various ways, like persuasion, negotiation, or coercion. The theory helps us understand the dynamics of social, political, and organizational interactions by analyzing how power is distributed and exercised, ultimately shaping outcomes and relationships within a system.
