what is political power and who are political actors
Political power is influence or control over or participation in the making and implementa-tion of official decisions of government offices and institutions--i.e., the authoritative, binding decisions made and carried out by the government for and in the name of the entire society.
Political Actors is one of the most important books written about the French Revolution in the past ten years. Paul Friedland advances a genuinely new and provocative interpretation of the Revolution as a whole.âDavid A. Bell, The Johns Hopkins University.
