	Power (sociology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Much of this debate is related to the works of the french philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-1984), who, following the italian political philospher Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), sees power as "a complex strategic situation in a given society [social setting]".
		For a purely enabling (and voluntaristic) concept of power see the works of Anthony Giddens.
		More generally, one could define "power" as the more or less unilateral ability (real or perceived) or potential to bring about significant change, usually in people’s lives, through the actions of oneself or of others.
