It's all about

2. •The four components of political power are power, authority,
legitimacy and sovereignty.
•Power is defined as the ability to make a state or person
act/think in a way that is contrary to how they would have
acted/thought otherwise, and shape the course of events.
What is the meaning of power?
Power in politics has a direct effect on everyday people,
and if political power is not used cautiously, the results
could be unpredictable, leading to an unstable political
environment.
Power is the ability of politicians, leaders, and others to
influence policy in a government, thereby controlling what
decisions people and countries make.
There are three concepts of power - capability, relational
and structural.

3. WHAT ARE THE NATURE OF POWER?
Coercion, Authority and Influence are the
three main forms of power. Each of these
three forms of power emanates from
different sources.
Coercion the practice of persuading someone to do something by using
force or threats.
Authority the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce
obedience.
Influence the capacity to have an effect on the character, development,
or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.

4. The nature of political power
The nature of political power: A
working theory of the State must, in
fact, be conceived in administrative
terms. Its will is the decision arrived
at by a small number of men to whom
is confided the legal power of making
decisions. How that power is
organized is rather a matter of form
than of substance. It may, of course,
be organized in such a way that it
cannot, as in Czarist Russia, attain
the end which theory postulates for it.
Power, that is to say, is always a trust, and it
is always held upon conditions. The will of
the State is subject to the scrutiny of all who
come within the ambit of its decisions.
Because it moulds the substance of their lives,
they have the right to pass judgment upon
the quality of its effort. They have, indeed,
the duty so to pass judgment for it is the plain
lesson of the historic record that the wants of
men will only secure recognition to the point
that they are forcibly articulate. The State is
not ourselves save where we identify
ourselves with what it does

6. There are three dimensions of power
This theory claims that power is exercised in three ways: decision-
making power, non-decision-making power, and ideological power.
Decision-making power is the most public of the three dimensions.
Analysis of this "face" focuses on policy preference revealed through
political action.

7. Referent
power-
is a unique
type of
personal
power. It is
built on
respectful
interpersonal
relationships
rather than
manipulation
or coercion.
Types of power
Legitimate
power- is the
formal authority
given to a
person within an
organization.
Because it
comes from a
position or job
title, legitimate
power is a form
of positional
power.
Expert
Power –
is the
perception
that a certain
person has an
elevated level
of knowledge
or a specific
skill set that
others in an
organization
don't have.
Reward
power- is
the formal
power given
to a work
leader to
give out
rewards to
other
employees.
Coercive
power- is a
formal power
source, where
influencing
agents use the
threat of force
to gain
compliance
from targets of
influence.

8. Consequences of Power There are three consequences
of power: Compliance, Commitment and Resistance.
Compliance refers to the readiness or act of agreeing
to do something. The two types of power most likely to
cause compliance are Legitimate or Position power and
Reward power.
1. Compliance with the order may occur if it is perceived to be within the leader's
scope of authority.
2. Compliance is most likely to happen if the reward is something valued by the
target person.

9. •Commitment is an even more
desirable outcome because of the
trust and emotional pledge that it
causes. It is perceived as loyalty or
a sense of dedication or devotion.
Commitment is most likely to be
the consequence when the powers
used are referent and expert.

10. •Resistance means to refuse or to
oppose. It is the most likely
outcome when coercive power is
used in a hostile or manipulative
way. It is best to use coercion
power in preventing behavior that
is harmful to the society and well-
being of the people such as illegal
and violent activities.
