Abstract
After briefly reviewing contemporary theories of social power, their underlying assumptions are examined and discussed in relation to several controversial issues concerning the properties of power and power relations. It is concluded that much of the controversy is a function of the ambiguous use of such terms as control, manipulation, persuasion, inducement, force and authority. A tentative schema is then devised whereby the aforementioned terms are reduced to varieties of active or passive power.
