My concern here, however, is social conflict. All these powers may conflict all can manifest conflict. Some are intentionally directed, as are assertive and bargaining powers one is directed wholly towards a person's body, as is force and others are directed through another self, as are inductive and intellectual powers.

Power can be identive and assertive, altruistic and manipulative, coercive and physical, and so on.

But power takes many forms, as shown in Chapter 19 and Chapter 20. Indeed, an exertion of power is prerequisite to the retention of a share in the determination of future relations-as well as for the acquiring or retaining of other benefits perceived as the 'reasons' for conflict.Ĭonflict is the confrontation of powers. that a conflict is always concerned with a distribution of power.
