Where is power?
We often think we know. We point toward presidents, governments, corporations, wealth, weapons, institutions, movements, and influential individuals. But possessing resources, occupying an important position, or producing visible activity does not necessarily mean that Power has been realized.
Locating Power challenges readers to look more carefully.
Building from Interdependent Power Theory (IPT), the book provides a framework for identifying Power through the relationships, conditions, and consequences that make it socially meaningful. Rather than beginning with who appears powerful, Locating Power asks what capacities actually exist, how those capacities become consequential, what possibilities they condition, and where the resulting Power can therefore be located.
The distinction matters. Capacity can exist without becoming Power. Influence can occur without political Power. Authority, legitimacy, governance, and political position may interact with Power without being interchangeable with it. By separating concepts that conventional political language frequently collapses together, Locating Power offers readers a more precise way to examine how social and political outcomes are actually produced.
Written as an accessible extension of Interdependent Power Theory, Locating Power moves the theory from definition toward application. It equips readers to examine institutions, communities, political actors, social movements, and everyday relationships without assuming in advance where Power resides.
Because before we can understand how Power moves, accumulates, disappears, or changes hands, we must first learn how to find it.
