Resumo
Prevailing perspectives on power cannot explain why political protests from the bottom of societies sometimes result in reforms that reflect the grievances of the protestors. I propose a new theory of 'interdependent power' that provides such an explanation. I argue that, contrary to common views, globalization actually increases the potential for this kind of popular power.
