Member of the Power, Conflict and Ideologies Research Cluster

Profile

Mark Haugaard is editor of the Journal of Power and Chair of the IPSA Research Committee on Political Power. My research interests combine normative political theory and sociological theory. This includes theories of power, domination, freedom, nationalism, liberalism, identity and governmentality. What motivates me is the dilemma that agency presupposes membership of social systems, yet the latter also constitute the source of domination, whereby individuals become a means to a misperceived higher end. Current research includes a book on power, Understanding Power, which argues that power covers a cluster of concepts that constitute the conditions of possibility for both freedom and domination. The first half is a sociological account of the workings of power, while the second constitutes a normative political theory of how to balance freedom against domination.
