La fórmula política. Una aproximación sociológica a la relación gobernantes-gobernados

Abstract

The relationship between individual and society can be sociologically grasped only through mediation involving power relations. The concern for social order found in the origins of Sociology includes the assessment of these relations. This study investigates on how rulers remain in power in a modern mass society. By redefining the foundation of power as a political formula this analysis will focus in the social context understood as a “framework of certainty” where individual actions are inserted and have social implications. This approach combines contributions from political science, classical and contemporary sociology and psychoanalysis.
