>What is power and who has power today? Has power escaped from
>nation-states to international organizations and the global market? Does
>power reside in big institutions or is it rooted in micro level
>interaction? How does power hide from view and therefore become most
>effective? For social scientists power is in many ways like what St.
>Augustine said about time: it is central to our investigations and
>we think we know what it is, but it is hard to explain. By bringing
>together scholars who approach power from different angles this
>conference will advance our understanding about power relations in
>social reality.
