Abstract
This paper re-interprets the three-dimensional
power debate, Foucaults account of subjectification (theorized as the fourth
dimension of power), through the lens of Arendts concept of power as concerted power. Allen has brought these
perspectives together using the conceptual vocabulary of power to, power with and power over, arguing that concerted power
concerted power corresponds to the power
to and power with. In contrast,
this article argues that concerted power also includes power over. The four dimensions of conflictual power both lead to
domination (as is usually argued) and to concerted power, which constitutes one
of the conditions essential to democracy.
