Abstract
The concept, power, is here analyzed in terms significant not only to students of political philosophy but to all sorts of political science folk. Scrutiny of the pluralist-stratificationist controversy community (including explication of the assumptions of Dahl and Bachrach/ Baratz on whether non-events can be causes) provides an example of defective uses of the concept, power. Ball criticizes the assumption that has a single meaning and specifically questions the mechanistic, causal power over model, asking us to see the conditional in power, the sense of ability or capacity to do things.
