  Tripartite classification of authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Max Weber distinguished three ideal types of political leadership, domination and authority: charismatic domination (familial and religious), traditional domination (patriarchs, patrimonalism, feudalism) and legal domination (modern law and state, bureaucracy).
He also notes that legal domination is the most advanced, and that societies evolve from having mostly traditional and charismatic authorities to mostly rational and legal ones, due to the fact that the instability of charismatic authority inevitably forces it to "routinize" into a more structured form of authority.
In traditional authority, the legitimacy of the authority comes from tradition, in charismatic authority from the personality and leadership qualities of the individual (charisma), and in legal (or rational-legal) authority from powers that are bureaucratically and legally attached to certain positions.

 Traditional authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traditional authority (also known as traditional domination) is a form of leadership in which the authority of an organization or a ruling regime is largely tied to tradition or custom.
In traditional authority, the legitimacy of the authority comes from tradition; in charismatic authority from the personality and leadership qualities of the individual; and in rational-legal authority from powers that are bureaucratically and legally attached to certain positions.
Weber derives the traditional domination from patriarchs and their households - in other words, from the ancient tradition of family (the authority of a master over his household).

 Sociology 250 - Notes on Max Weber
Examples of dominance could include parent-child relationships, employer-employee relationships, teacher-student, domination within the family, political rule that is generally accepted and obeyed, or the relation between a priest and church member.
In many cases, traditional authority is buttressed by culture such as myths or connection to the sacred, symbols such as a cross or flag, and by structures and institutions which perpetuate this traditional authority.
Traditional forms of authority existed in many societies throughout much of history, and Weber analyzed why this form of authority was maintained, and what were the barriers to the development of more rational or legal forms of authority characteristic of western societies.

 Paul Bullen: Charismatic Domination
Traditional domination is typically represented by "patriarchalism," a major variant of which is "patrimonialism." (2) Commands can be taken as binding when those obeying believe that positively enacted laws are binding and that the person issuing the commands is acting in accordance with applicable law.
This third kind of legitimate domination (charismatic domination) is the basis for the "charismatic structure of domination." The political form of this domination is the topic of this paper.
Domination based on charismatic legitimation changes in the direction a domination based on ‘routine" legitimation, that is, either traditional or rational-legal, or a combination of the two.

The traditional period described by Brintnall (1930s-1940s) was a time of isolation marked by the lack of a good road, repressive governmental policies, and a religious-political organization which remained inward looking.
Further, the traditional era was characterized by political and economic dominance by the ladinos.
Despite the change in status among the Indians and the opportunity for sons to be independent from their fathers, the traditional hierarchy of age grades and ancestor beliefs had maintained the traditional organization.

 Reinhard Bendix, Max Weber, An Intellectual Portrait
structures of domination vary in the ways in which the command are distributed between the ruling minor "apparatus." They also vary in the general [Page 294] principles of legitimacy on the basis of which the "officials" obey the rulig minority and the people at large obey both.
It follows that every system of domination will [Page 297] change its character when its rulers fail to live up to the standards by which they justify their domination and thereby jeopardize the beliefs in those standards among the public at large.
Under legal domination the "superior" is himself subject to law, and he can undermine the beliefs sustaining the legal order if he uses formal compliance to extend his domination indefinitely.

Legitimacy of rule is grounded in the faith that the ruled vest in the leader (e.g., a prophet, hero, heroine, or demagogue).
The administrative apparatus under this mode of domination is very loose, unstructured, and unstable, usually working through the activities of a few disciples or intermediaries.
“Traditional Domination” occurs when the power to rule is underwritten by a respect for tradition and the past.

Traditions are formed through experience, knowledge, needs, and the necessity both to adapt and adopt to the environment.
Traditions are both an expression of these realities, as well as a means of regulating and making sense of them.
Often misinterpreted as 'ancestor worship', the only traditions that involve or invoke ancestors are actually nothing more than the paying of respect to them, and the nurturing of their memory.

The male domination of the public and political spheres depends largely on confining women to their traditional sex roles of providing sexual entertainment and reproducing children; also male domination depends on confining worsen to their traditional gender roles of childrearing, domestic servitude and subsistence production.
The most important patriarchal principles which guide government administrative practice are traditional principles that the "man is the head of the household", and that the "woman is owned by her husband".
Although a large part of bureaucratic behaviour may be explained by the "traditional mentality" of customary law, we also have to mention the bureaucracy's internal patriarchal impetus, of being a male dominated institution which enables and perpetuates the male predominance in salaried employment, as well as the male domination of decision making.

 susan elaine white--Mao & Augustine
The traditional form is the focus of comparison and redefinition here, although the multi-faceted classification of this authority is relevant to the deeper understanding of entire analytical tool.
The traditional ideal type determines that the leader's "authority is based on belief in and submission to" him who possesses "special qualifications of some sort." Like every analytical tool, the "ideal" it is not an empirical reality.
But with a new working definition of traditional charisma, more conducive with reaching a cross-cultural, cross-temporal aim of establishing an 'ideal type,' a greater understanding of the varying nature of political action is achieved.

Aside from the DOM engine itself, the core of the DOMination architecture is support for rendering individual document fragments of the components and composing them into a unified display.

 Fitzpatrick on Cohen
The image, Cohen claims, is precisely 'that which resists narrative resolution and which interrupts its explanatory logic' (14), leaving the postmodern novel in a position in which its linear, typographical logic of domination is complicated by the changing relationships of subject and object.
For Mailer, the proliferation of the visual, the technological, and the mass-cultural in post-war American society is part and parcel of the shifting gender relations produced by the women's movement.
In the fiction of Jerzy Kosinski, Cohen explores the manner in which the female object of vision is repeatedly 'locked into an optic of domination' (108) driven by the male narrator's desire to protect his spectatorial authority.

 Panama - FOREIGN RELATIONS
Panama's strategic location, the traditional domination of both the economy and the political agenda by the canal, and the strong influence exerted by the United States throughout most of Panama's independent history have combined to magnify the importance of foreign policy in the nation's political life.
From the signing of the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty in 1903 until the ratification of the Panama Canal treaties in 1978, Panama's overriding concern, both domestically and internationally, was to gain sovereignty over the Canal Zone and the control over the canal, itself.
Although foreign policy concerns were not as dominant in the 1980s as in previous decades, they occupied a high priority for Panama's government and still centered on relations with the United States.

This is an expression of the morality of the ruling class of this country—where the men who founded their position and wealth on slavery are upheld as virtuous examples to follow.
