Description
In the second episode of power month we begin by defining soft and hard power and asking not just what it is, but why it is the way it is. We consider the traditional conception of power as hierarchical, held by a sovereign or religious figure, and endorsed by its subjects until this balance is disturbed. We then explore the darker side of power through a classic novel and discuss how this version of power is influenced by the time period in which it is situated.
