Two Paces of Power
The concept of power remains elusive despite the recent and prolific outpourings of case studies on community power. Its elusiveness is dramatically demonstrated by the regularity of disagreement as to the locus of community power between the sociologists and the political scientists. This chapter contends that the pluralists themselves have not grasped the whole truth of the matter; that while their criticisms of the elitists are sound, they, li…
Duas faces do poder
Este artigo apresenta duas concepções de poder, a partir do exame e da crítica de duas tradições de pesquisa. A tradição sociológica, que originou a corrente elitista, postula a existência do poder nas comunidades; a tradição politológica, que originou a corrente pluralista, questiona a existência de elites dirigentes em comunidades e instituições. O artigo argumenta que a tradição elitista postula o que deve ser provado, ao passo que a pluralist…
Childfare: A New Direction for Welfare Reform
In August 1996, President Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, fulfilling his campaign promise to "end welfare as we know it". The legislation replaces the six-decade-old Aid To Families With Dependent Children programme (AFDC) with so-called workfare under which recipient parents may no longer receive financial assistance indefinitely. Instead, they must obtain employment or other means of support within two years…

Thoughts on poverty and its elimination
Efforts to eliminate poverty as a major domestic problem in the United States have a long history. The attack was significantly heightened in 1964 with the passage of the Economic Opportunity Act, the statute designed as the foundation of the so-called war on poverty. In the succeeding years which have encompassed two national Administrations, one Democratic and the other Republican, a variety of means have been brought to bear on the problem. Pu…

Decisions and Nondecisions: An Analytical Framework
In recent years a rich outpouring of case studies on community decision-making has been combined with a noticeable lack of generalizations based on them. One reason for this is a commonplace: we have no general theory, no broad-gauge model in terms of which widely different case studies can be systematically compared and contrasted.Among the obstacles to the development of such a theory is a good deal of confusion about the nature of power and of…
Two Faces of Power
The concept of power remains elusive despite the recent and prolific outpourings of case studies on community power. Its elusiveness is dramatically demonstrated by the regularity of disagreement as to the locus of community power between the sociologists and the political scientists. Sociologically oriented researchers have consistently found that power is highly centralized, while scholars trained in political science have just as regularly con…

IDEALLY, IF NOT in reality, ours is a pluralistic society. Our concept of freedom is that power be decentralized, that influence over the process of decision-making be diffused.1 It is this, of course, which explains our devotion to a political and economic system characterized by small units of control, functioning in fragmented structures. As norms for public policy, perfect competition and pure democracy have survived largely because they are …
