Frameworks of Power is a thorough and well-organized exploration of the various frameworks for understanding power that have been proposed by influential thinkers across the social sciences. A genuine masterpiece in the field, the original edition had a profound impact and served as a crucial reference point for scholars at all levels interested in power.

Reflecting on the classical literature on power, with a particular focus on Machiavelli and Hobbes, the book delves into the analysis of power, drawing from British and American social and political theorists, as well as German Critical Theory and French theorists like Foucault. It builds upon its theory and its application.

The second edition introduces a brand new chapter, "A History of the Present," which offers a timely, engaging, and thought-provoking intervention by examining three contemporary crises: the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and climate change, using the circuits of power framework that was the central concept of the original work.

Beyond its role as a vital textbook for students studying social science disciplines, this comprehensive and innovative analysis will also appeal to scholars in sociology, politics, organization studies, and other fields.
