"Setting out to make the prevailing theories of power accessible as
they′re discussed in disciplines like political science, business,
and psychology, leading social sciences publisher SAGE is compiling
what is likely to be a sought-after starting point int he research
of power and its brokers."-Library Journal
*Library Journal*
"This set offers a distinctive interdisciplinary analysis of the
concept of power and will prove a valuable addition for academic
collections."

"As it stands now, it is a fine work and one I personally would
love to own for desk-based research. The biographical entries
(on active figures such as Dahl and Morriss and indeed Dowding
himself) are objective and historiographically informative, the
technical material (e.g. on game theory) is non-patronizing and
authoritatively presented, the debates really are of current
interest, the mix of soft with hard (or qualitative and
quantitative) good, and the overall reach and level of analysis of
the entries intellectually and professionally sound."
