	A Special Supplement: Reflections on Violence - The New York Review of Books
		Power is in the same category; it is, as the saying goes, "an end in itself." (This, of course, is not to deny that governments pursue policies and employ their power to achieve prescribed goals.
		Rule by sheer violence comes into play where power is being lost; it is precisely the shrinking power of the Russian government, internally and externally, that became manifest in its "solution" of the Czechoslovak problem—just as it was the shrinking power of European imperialism that became manifest in the alternative of decolonization or massacre.
		Violence, being instrumental by nature, is rational to the extent that it is effective in reaching the end which must justify it.

	Long Sunday: The Three Names of Power
		Jon and Paul, in their respective contributions, wonder how, on the one hand, power and violence can be brought into relation with one another and how, on the other hand, this relation appears to be missing from Benjamin’s essay.
		Indeed, “the task of a critique of violence” is the act of “expounding its [violence] relation to law and justice” (277).
		Violence is inherently unstable, oscillating between expressions of power and Power.

	Gender and Violence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Violence is the use of coercive forms of power: the use of force or the threat of its use to compel someone to do something that the person might not otherwise do.
		It declares that violence against women is an obstacle to the achievement of the objectives of equality, development and peace and it urges all nations to recognise and address the problem.
		Violence rooted in unequal power between men and women may also include frequent infliction of harm that is justified or exonerated by custom, tradition, religion, or by the relationships surrounding the crime even if the inflicted harm is considered criminal by law.

	Power, Violence & Poverty
		The topics include: the different types of power, the ambivalence of power, the relationship between power and violence, and how power can be used to liberate as well as dominate and manipulate.
		It makes the point that power is never absolute, whether it is employed in the attempt to technologically control nature or to politically dominate populations.
		Violence often diminishes the power of those who employ it, necessitating the use of more violence in an attempt to gain or maintain control.

	Nonviolence Training Project: About power
		The idea of power which most of us consciously or unconsciously subscribe to is the monolithic view of power, which can be represented as a pyramid in which power is concentrated in the hands of a few individuals or institutions.
		It sees power as something which is diffused throughout society, in which the power of any group or individual is dependent on the consent of others.
		Power-with is both the key to multiplying our individual strength, and the ultimate goal of the nonviolent activist in reshaping society along fair and just lines.

	Power (sociology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Power manifests itself in a relational manner: one cannot meaningfully say that a particular social actor "has power" without also specifying the role of other parties in the social relationship (for a discussion of this concept see Simmel's work on 'subordination' and 'superordination').
		Because power operates both relationally and reciprocally, sociologists speak of the balance of power between parties to a relationship: all parties to all relationships have some power: the sociological examination of power concerns itself with discovering and describing the relative strengths: equal or unequal, stable or subject to periodic change.
		In the Marxist tradition, Antonio Gramsci elaborated the role of cultural hegemony in ideology as a means of bolstering the power of capitalism and of the nation-state.

	Amazon.ca: On Violence: Books: Hannah Arendt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The irony of viewing the natural need of men (and increasingly, women) to view power as dominance over rather than as a part of a coooperative spirit toward mutual goals is the foundation of this articulate and simple philosophy where violence becomes a part of the political and economic landscape.
		Her theoretical conclusions on violence and power are interesting because she reasons that they are opposites: violence is the lack of access to power (and is power then the ability to use violence at any time?
		Her general thesis is that where there is lack of power or where power is slipping away, there is greater potential for violence.

	Religion, Power And Violence By Ram Puniyani
		Now as the offensive of power seekers at world level is masked in the language of religion, particularly anti-Islam, those aspiring for control on social and political power at home are also using this Hindutva, religion based politics.
		Violence is the superficial layer of this politics of power in the name of religion.
		Association of religion with power is the crux of its negative role in society.

	Towards an Ethical Reading of The Apocalypse:
		I have already argued that this story regularly inverts the images of violence, so that what at first appears to coercive power (Jesus slays all his enemies) turns out on closer examination to be something else (he slays them with the sword of his mouth).
		Were violence a means to renewal, the story would advocate such violence, but such is not the case.
		In John’s Apocalypse, those powers are incarnate as the beast of Roman rule (13:1-18) and a central part of John’s purpose in writing is to persuade the audience to resist those powers.

		I am limiting the term political violence to violence directly and purposefully administered in the name of a political ideology, movement, or state such as the physical repression of dissent by the army or the police as well as its converse, popular armed struggle against a repressive regime.
		The structural violence exerted by the financial markets, in the form of layoffs, loss of security, etc., is matched sooner or later in the form of suicides, crime and delinquency, drug addiction, alcoholism, a whole host of minor and major everyday acts of violence.

	PEACE POWER! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Many violence prevention programs rely primarily suppressing violence, but fail to provide positive alternative ways for youth to influence their world, alternative sources of personal power--an approach that science tells us is almost certain to fail.
		The PEACE POWER package includes a menu of activities for work with peers, school and other organizational networks, families and communities focused on increasing respect for oneself, others, and the natural world, and building tolerance for persons of diverse races, ethnicities, varying sexual orientations, abilities, and social groups.
		The sharing of power is a way of living with others that emerges from Native American thought and experience, and is also supported by state-of-the-art behavioral science which suggests that alternative ways to influence one's world can reduce reliance on the exercise of coercive power.

		Blending body, mind and animal power into an Eastern form of supernatural empowerment, they are super-fast, super-strong and super-dedicated.
		The Power Rangers have built a worldwide army of small but impassioned disciples who share their cause: fighting evil with supernatural power.
		Since the Power Rangers premiered on the Fox network last year, they have "built one of the most passionate goundswells of devotion in the history of Kids' entertainment," says San Francisco Examiner writer Peter Stack.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: "People power" replacing violence in Ukraine
		The tensions and risks remain high in Ukraine, but at times last week the prospect of violence seemed to recede, as a compromise emerged that would void the disputed election and allow for a new one.
		People power often prevails because national leaders fear the loss of international legitimacy and acceptance that would come from cracking down.
		As it is, the focus of government power and media attention is in Kiev, a western city where most people back the challenger, Viktor Yushchenko.

		Thus, the bully in a school setting maintains a powerful status based on his or her fantasies and those of peers regarding the bully’s capacity to hurt and control.
		The pressures on group members to be connected with the powerful bully leader increase the dilemma of the victim, since negative reaction to the verbal bullying may lead to further exclusion from the group.
		Thinkable thoughts are produced from preconceptions (beta to alpha transformation) The act of bullying and the act of violence may represent a failure to verbally symbolize 2 and thus release catastrophic dread with attendant urgency.

	Non-violence
		With pragmatic nonviolence, a people or a movement can choose not to use violence even if there is no traditional or religious basis for that choice in their culture.
		Governments are often reacting to a perceived loss of political and economic power, including profits from natural resources or access to foreign aid, when they respond violently to nonviolence.
		Using violence to maintain power is a traditional response, yet one which can lead to spiraling conflict.

	Power & Violence
		Power is psychological, a moral force that makes people want to obey.
		Those who use violence may manage to temporarily impose their will, but their command is always tenuous because when the violence ends, or the threat of it lessens, there is even less incentive to obey the authorities.
		When a government turns to violence, it is because it feels its power is slipping away.

	defining...the violence, the power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		So the primary violence against us is that we are robbed of our perception of reality and of our ability to define the constructs that exist within that reality.
		Men will define how much violence towards women is acceptable and in what context - namely, is rape in marriage "really" rape; if she was talking back to him was she "asking for it;" if she was attractive did she "deserve" to be stalked; and so on.
		For this reason, we will not have true power - the power to define who we are, the power to create social constructs, the power to name what is and is not acceptable behavior, and the power to enforce all of the above.

		"Power and Violence provides and excellent examination of conflict over city government and its early chapters usefully complement the political analysis in Jacques A. Barbier's Reform and Politics in Bourbon Chile, 1755-1796 (1980).
		This book examines the characteristics of political power in the cities of the colonial Spanish Empire between the 1740s and 1780s, based on a detailed study of the mining city of Oruro in Alto Peru (present-day Bolivia), emphasizing the workings of the judicial system and the role of the bureaucracy.
		Toward the end of this period, the analysis focuses on the Indian uprisings of the 1780s (the rebellions of Tupac Amaru) and the reasons that led to the alliances or confrontations between the actors of the distinct bands, whether white or Indian.

		Forcibly "reunited" through the Dayton Peace Agreement, the conflicted country is struggling under the burden of managerial state and democracy while its leaders and occupiers claim the solution is more of both.
