The Distribution of Political Power

Evan Luard

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The principal concern of politics has always been with the distribution of power. Political thought and political action alike, whether seeking to justify and defend the way power is distributed at present, or to demand a new distribution to correspond with new conceptions of justice, welfare or efficiency, have each seen this as their central preoccupation. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
