Steven Lukes's (1974) reconciliation of the agency & structural views of power is discussed. Lukes offers a three-dimensional view of power: (1) power not manifested as open conflict; (2) power manifested as grievances outside of the political agenda; & (3) power manifested as conflict between people's stated preferences & their real interests. With the notion of real interests, Lukes attempts to widen the definition of power from the realm of only the observable to the realm of latent conflict & thus, emphasizes the importance of individual autonomy & responsibility in conceptualizations of power, producing, in essence, an agency-based analysis of structural power. Lukes's alleged radical alternative to power ultimately fails because of its vagueness & internal contradictions. His realization of the deficiencies of his alternative likely led to his retreat to a behavioral definition of power in later works. 17 References. D. Generoli

This book explores the interdisciplinary arena of peace studies and shows how the field has evolved and continues to grow and change. Dedicated to bringing students face to face with the grave injustices and violence in the contemporary world, it equips them with the tools to work for transformational change. Informed by an intersectional perspective, scholar-activist authors probe contested terrain, including teaching social justice from a place of privilege, decolonializing pedagogies, and community organizing. Games and simulations, storytelling, experiential integrated learning, and other pedagogical approaches are employed to encourage critical thinking, empathy, optimism, and activism.
