What is Power

Internal and external resources, skills, capabilities, conditions, that make the agent ‘able’ and ‘in condition’ to do a given action and to realize a given goal. This is the “power of” doing an action, realizing a goal. There are various forms of social power; the most basic is the “Power over” the other: Y is dependent on X as for a given goal, thus X has Power over Y as for that goal.

According to K. Boulding the power is exercised when men love, construct enterprise, create theories and scientific experiments, and expands markets, and, of course when they launch wars or compose poesy, in all their conceivable actions, human beings exercise power. The common denominator of these actions is, justly, that in order to attain our objectives we want to exercise influence and authority over our allies, and force and dissuasion over our enemies. To the influent T. Schelling –ideologist of cold war strategies and pioneer of the games theory– power is present in all human actions (love, sex, education, business, etc.) The individuals play games of strategy and, consequently, they exercise power: a player (an individual or a social group) has the capacity to get what he wants by exercising influence (or violent pressure) over his allies and enemies.
