Power: Forms, Dynamics and Consequences
An International conference, Tampere, September 22-24, 2008
** Abstracts Submission Deadline EXTENDED: June 30, 2008 **
Call for papers
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.
