QUOTE‘NEVER DISCUSS POLITICS AND RELIGION IN

PUBLIC’

WHAT COMES IN YOUR MIND BY WORD POLITICS???

ON BROADER LEVEL

• POLITICS REFER TO POWER RELATIONS WHEREVER THEY EXIST, INCLUDING THOSE IN EVERY DAY LIFE

• WEBER’S CONCEPT ‘ Power is the ability to get your way even over the resistance of others ‘

• Every group is political as in every group there is power struggle of some sort

MACRO AND MICRO

POLITICS

MICRO POLITICS

It refers to exercise of power in everyday life

MACRO POLITICS

It refers to large scale power and on large scale e.g. governing a country is best example

LEGITIMATE POWER

• Power that people accepts as right also called authority

• e.g. fine payed because of breaking traffic signal

ILLEGITIMATE POWER• Power that people don't

accept as rightly exercised over them also called coercion

• e.g. robbery

Cont.....

• State is a political entity that claims a monopoly on violence over some territory. If enough people consider a state’s power illegitimate, REVOLUTION is possible

• The more that its power is seen as legitimate, then, the more stable a government is.

MAX WEBER’S KINDS OF AUTHORITIES

• Traditional authority

• Rational legal authority

• Charismatic authority

TRADITIONAL AUTHORITY• Power is derived from

customs- patterns set down in the past serve as rule for the present

• Hell mark of tribes• Because of Industrialization,

traditional authority could be challenged

• Traditional authority dies with industrialization

RATIONAL-LEGAL AUTHORITY

• Power is based on law and written procedures

• Rational means reasonable, and legal means part of law.

• As broad as constitution• As narrow as pact between

two people • Rational–legal authority

comes from the position that someone holds, not from the person who holds that position.

CHARISMATIC AUTHORITY• Power is derived from

loyalty to an individual to whom people are attracted

• Charisma is a Greek word that means a gift freely and graciously given

• charismatic leaders pose a threat to the established political order.

• Charismatic authority has no rules of succession, • charismatic authority is built around a single individual• To avoid this, some charismatic leaders make arrangements for an orderly transition of power by appointing a successor.. A second strategy is to build an organization. As the organization develops rules or regulations, it transforms itself into a rational–legal organization.

Routinization of Charisma• Weber used this term as transition of authority from a charismatic

leader to either traditional or rational–legal authority.

WAR AND TERRIORISM

• War and terror are both means of attempting to accomplish political objectives

‘War is merely a continuation of

politics by other means’

• CYNICS might say that war is common state of society

• Timasheff identifies three essentials conditions of war And his study could be applied on terrorism

TIMASHEFF 3 CONDITIONS OF WAR

In this two nations confront incompatible objectives e.g if each country want same resource or land e.g Kashmir issue

leaders will consider only solution to deal with serious dispute as there ansestors had fought wars

That heats the antagonistic situation to a boiling point So that politicians cross the line from thinking about war to avoid it
