Keith Dowding  

Definición

  • Keith Dowding has made two key contributions to understanding political power: demonstrating the importance of the collective action problem for our understanding of power and demonstrating the interplay of agency and structure with his concept of “systematic luck.” Collective action problems show that a group of actors might seem powerless even if there is no other group acting against them. Dowding claims that both pluralists and structural approaches fail to grasp this simple idea. [Source: Encyclopedia of Power; Dowding, Keith]
