Politics refers to power relations that exist everywhere, from everyday life to governing entire countries. There are different types of power and authority. Micro politics involves everyday power struggles, while macro politics involves large-scale power like governing a nation. Legitimate power is accepted by people, like obeying traffic laws, while illegitimate power is not accepted, like robbery. Max Weber identified three types of authority: traditional based on customs, rational-legal based on laws/rules, and charismatic based on loyalty to an individual. War and terrorism are both means used to achieve political goals, with terrorism using violence to create fear for political ends. Factors like moral outrage, shared ideology, and group discussions can contribute to radicalization.
4. ON BROADER LEVEL
• POLITICS REFER TO POWER RELATIONS WHEREVER THEY
EXIST, INCLUDING THOSE IN EVERY DAY LIFE
5. • WEBER’S CONCEPT
‘ Power is the ability to get your
way even over the resistance
of others ‘
• Every group is political as in every group there is
power struggle of some sort
8. MACRO POLITICS
It refers to large scale power and on large
scale e.g. governing a country is best example
9. LEGITIMATE
POWER
• Power that people accepts as
right also called authority
• e.g. fine payed because of
breaking traffic signal
ILLEGITIMATE
POWER
• Power that people don't
accept as rightly exercised
over them also called
coercion
• e.g. robbery
10. Cont.....
• State is a political entity
that claims a monopoly
on violence over some
territory. If enough
people consider a state’s
power illegitimate,
REVOLUTION is possible
• The more that its power
is seen as legitimate,
then, the more stable a
government is.
11. MAX WEBER’S
KINDS OF AUTHORITIES
• Traditional authority
• Rational legal authority
• Charismatic authority
12. TRADITIONAL AUTHORITY
• Power is derived from
customs- patterns set
down in the past serve as
rule for the present
• Hell mark of tribes
• Because of
Industrialization, traditiona
l authority could be
challenged
• Traditional authority dies
with industrialization
13. RATIONAL-LEGAL
AUTHORITY
• Power is based on law
and written procedures
• Rational means
reasonable, and legal
means part of law.
• As broad as constitution
• As narrow as pact
between two people
• Rational–legal authority
comes from the position
that someone holds, not
from the person who
holds that position.
14. CHARISMATIC AUTHORITY
• Power is derived from
loyalty to an individual
to whom people are
attracted
• Charisma is a Greek
word that means a gift
freely and graciously
given
• charismatic leaders
pose a threat to the
established political
order.
15. • Charismatic authority has no rules of succession,
• charismatic authority is built around a single individual
• To avoid this, some charismatic leaders make arrangements for
an orderly transition of power by appointing a
successor..
A second strategy is
to build an organization. As the organization
develops rules or regulations, it
transforms itself into a rational–legal organization.
Routinization of Charisma
• Weber used this term as transition of authority from a charismatic
leader to either traditional or rational–legal authority.
16. WAR AND TERRIORISM
• War and terror are both means
of attempting to accomplish
political objectives
‘War is merely a
continuation of
politics by other
means’
• CYNICS might say that war is
common state of society
• Timasheff identifies three
essentials conditions of war And
his study could be applied on
terrorism
17. TIMASHEFF
3 CONDITIONS OF WAR
In this two nations confront incompatible objectives e.g if
each country want same resource or land e.g Kashmir
issue
leaders will consider only solution to deal with
serious dispute as there ansestors had fought wars
That heats the antagonistic situation to a boiling
point So that politicians cross the line from
thinking about war to avoid it
19. COST OF WAR
‘DEHUMANIZATION’
• People no longer see others as worthy of
human treatment.
• This pave the way for torture and killing
20. TERRORISM
• the use of violence or the
threat of violence to
produce fear in order to
attain political objectives
• REASONS are
Hatred and perceived
injustice
• SUISIDE TERRIORISM
use when opponent is
much stronger
21. Who are terrorist??
• no one among them have ever met terrorist
how they look like???
how they behave in society??
• Sociologist Mark Sageman wondered about
terrorist too and decided to study them he
had an advantage that he was in CIA. He
studied 400 Alquida terrorist and their records
22. MARK SAGEMEN
STEREOTYPES ABOUT SUICIDE TERRORIST
• BACKGROUND OF POVERTY
• QUITE PERSONALITIES
• MOSTLY IGNORANT PEOPLE
• LETS IMAGINE
MAY BE WE HAVE SOME FUTURE TERRIORIST STUDYING
IN UNI AROUND US
