Definición

  • Max Weber, a German sociologist and political economist, defined power as the capability of a person or group of persons to impose their will on others, even against the wishes of those others. Other scholars have noted that power can be manifested in different ways; it can be exercised physically and forcibly or more subtly to sustain oppression and coercion.
