Most macro‐theories of race relations include a discussion of the central role of power in determining the formation, perpetuation, and change found in systems of racial stratification. But because the definition of what constitutes power is by no means simple, different perspectives tend to emphasize various aspects of the concept as they try to arrive at more general conclusions to explain the very different patterns that race relations take in a number of historical and comparative settings. This entry looks at the way in which a variety of scholars have incorporated power into their theories of society and asks whether they have extended their perspectives to analyze race, ethnicity, and nationalism.
