Influence and Power

Más información sobre el libro

The investigation into political science in the Federal Republic of Germany reveals a significant diversity of perspectives among scholars. Conducted by Carl Böhret, the survey of 254 political scientists highlighted varying opinions on fundamental concepts, with 'power' surprisingly ranking third behind 'conflict' and 'interest.' Notably, only a minority of respondents considered 'power' essential, indicating a potential disconnect between differing academic viewpoints. This diversity underscores the complexity and richness of the discipline, challenging conventional notions of its foundational concepts.
