NATIONAL RESEARCH UNIVERSITY – HIGHER SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY
POLITICAL POWER: THEORETICAL DISCOUSE AND RFESEARCH MODELS
Lecturer and class teacher: Professor Valeri G. Ledyaev, PhD (University of Manchester,
Department of Government)
COURSE OUTLINE
1. The aim of the course
The course aims to give students basic knowledge of political power and the way it is studied in
contemporary political science and sociology. The course is intended to build up a critical awareness
of the different approaches to the study of power, and the difficulties in explaining political events
through an examination of various forms and manifestations of political power. The course will help
students to form their analytical skills, abilities to define and operationalise social concepts, prepare
research programs and instruments for the empirical study of power and political influence.
2. Objectives of the course
The course seeks to develop the students’ abilities in the four main areas: (1) a conceptual analysis of “power” and other terms of political discourse; (2) different theoretical perspectives in the
study of political power; (3) research methods used in empirical studies of political power; (4) a comparison of power structures in different societies and communities. By the end of the course the students will have learned about the nature of political power, its basic forms, bases and uses; strengths
and weaknesses of major theoretical approaches and research methods used in the study of power.
3. Content of the course
The course consists of three main parts: 1) conceptual analysis of power and its forms (methodology and principles for conceptualizing political concepts; basic problems in defining power; logic
of the conceptual analysis of power; basic views on power; forms, bases and uses of power; indicators
of political power); 2) main theories of political power (Marxist and neo-Marxist explanations of the
distribution of power in modern societies; classical and modern pluralism; corporatism; classical and
modern elitism; the basis of the convergence and remaining differences); 3) research models and main
outcomes of empirical studies of political power in regions and local communities (early community
power studies in US in 1930-1940; classical community power studies (F. Hunter, R. Dahl); positional,
reputational, decisional and network approaches in the study of power; contemporary models of community power (“growth machines” and “political regimes”); power structure and regimes in Russian
cities and regions).
4. Prerequisite
By the end of this course the students will have learned about (1) political power, its basic
forms, bases and uses; (2) main theoretical perspectives on power; (3) research methods used in the
study of power; (4) some forms and manifestations of political power in Russia. The course explains
and emphasizes interrelations between conceptual analysis, theoretical explanations and the outcomes
of empirical studies of political power.
5. The methods
The following methods of teaching will be used:
