Power: Forms, Dynamics and Consequences

Sep 22, 2008 - Sep 24, 2008
University of Tampere Tampere, Western Finland Finland
Finland

Highlights: What is power and who has power today? Has power escaped from nation-states to international organizations and the global market? Does power reside in big institutions or is it rooted in micro level interaction? How does power hide from view and therefore become most effective?

For social scientists power is in many ways like what St. Augustine said about time: it is central to our investigations and we think we know what it is, but it is hard to explain. By bringing together scholars who approach power from different angles this conference will advance our understanding about power relations in social reality.

Event Profiles: Speakers: Mark Haugaard (National University of Ireland, Galway), Tuula Juvonen (University of Jyväskylä, Finland)
