The author discusses the nature of power in Shan society arguing that power and protection mutually imply each other and that power is morally and ethically neutral. She supports this argument with examples showing the protective and morally neutral nature of power. Within this general framework she goes on to show that religious specialists conceive power as having an ethical component not normally present.
