How power is exercised and control is maintained

This book examines how power is exercised in practice, not merely how it is described. It looks at how control is established, how it is preserved, and how accountability can weaken over time.

It traces the relationship between institutions, authority, incentives, and enforcement, showing how power becomes embedded in systems that shape public life.

Power and control are not abstract ideas. They are visible in structures, decisions, and outcomes that affect everyday life and the future direction of society.
