"Macht ist häufig ein Kennzeichen sozialen Handelns. Deshalb ist es notwendig sich mit diesem Phänomen auch auf sozialpsychologischer Ebene auseinander zu setzen. Ziel dieses Artikels ist es den Leser zu sensibilisieren, sich der Komplexität dieses Alltagegriffes zu nähern. Durch eine Formalisierung soll diese Komplexität verdeutlicht werden. Diese Komplexität erklärt auch, warum das Phänomen Macht bisher keine umfassende psychologische Theorienbildung generiert hat.
Trotz dieser Schwierigkeiten fasst dieser Artikel wichtige Konzepte und Ergebnisse aus der psychologischen Forschung zusammen und ordnet sie Systemumfängen (Individual-, Mikro-, Meso-, Makosystem) als auch qualitativen Wirkmechanismen (affektiv, kognitiv und konativ) zu.
Somit wird eine Systematik gebildet, die veranschaulicht, in welchen Bereichen Forschungen bezüglich des sozialen Phänomens Macht ansetzen."[Autorenreferat]

Why is liberalism so obsessed with waste? Is there a drone above you now? Are you living in a no-fly zone? What is the role of masculinity in the 'war on terror'? And why do so many liberals say they love peace while finding new ways to justify slaughter in the name of security? In this, the first book to deal with the concepts of war power and police power together, Mark Neocleous deals with these questions and many more by using critical theory to radically rethink war power. Neocleous generates a provocative set of claims about state power and capital accumulation, the role of violence in the making of liberal order, the police wars at the heart of this violence, and the ways in which these processes come to be called 'peace'. And he takes the reader down some unexpected paths: the 'war on waste', debates about effeminacy, the proliferation of resilience and trauma-talk, drones as the culmination of colonial bombing campaigns, and no-fly zones as the perfect accompaniment for drones. The result is a compelling book that articulates a vision of war/police power beyond the military and the police. Key Features. The first book to deal with the concepts of war power and police power together Looks beyond the institutions of 'the military' and 'the police' Thinks critically about how powers of war and powers of police coincide in the exercise of state violence and social ordering

Platon nennt sich selbstbewusst der griechischstämmige britische Photograph Platon Antoniou (geb. 1968), der mittlerweile zu einem der führenden und gefragtesten politischen Photographen New Yorks gereift ist. Im Jahr 2008 hatte er für sein Photo von Wladimir Putin, vom Time Magazine zum Mann des Jahres gekürt, den ersten Preis des World Press Photo Contest gewonnen. Im Auftrag des New Yorker und in Zusammenarbeit mit dessen Politikredakteur David Remnick, einem der renommiertesten Journalisten der USA, hat Platon sein Power -Projekt entwickelt, das uns das heutige Antlitz der Macht auf ihrer höchsten Exekutivebene in vergleichenden Photographien und im globalen Maßstab vorführt. In einem logistischen Kraftakt bekam Platon die politischen Führer von 130 Mitgliedsländern der Vereinten Nationen vor seine Kamera: gewählte Präsidenten, Premierminister und Staatschefs Seite an Seite mit Diktatoren und Revolutionären. Dafür hat Platon einen eigenen photographischen Stil entwickelt, der es erlaubt, die Gesichter vergleichend zu betrachten und die Spuren der Machtausübung wie die Sorgen der Machterhaltung in ihnen wahrzunehmen.
