power to and power over  

Definición

  • The expressions power over and power to have appeared quite recently in theoretical debates about power. Their usage conforms, at a very general level, to the distinction between two interpretations of power: power over refers to an asymmetrical relation between two or more actors, while power to consists in the ability of the actors themselves to carry out certain specific outcomes.
