>What is power and who has power today? Has power 
>escaped from nation-states to international 
>organizations and the global market? Does power 
>reside in big institutions or is it rooted in 
>micro level interaction? How does power hide 
>from view and therefore become most effective? 
>For social scientists power is in many ways like 
>what St. Augustine said about time: it is 
>central to our investigations and we think we 
>know what it is, but it is hard to explain. By 
>bringing together scholars who approach power 
>from different angles this conference will 
>advance our understanding about power relations in social reality.
