Reflections on phronetic social science: a dialogue between Stewart Clegg, Bent Flyvbjerg and Mark Haugaard
No full textClegg, Flyvbjerg and Haugaard debate the strengths and weaknesses of a Foucauldian-Nietzschean critique of power compared to a tradition exemplified by Lukes and Habermas. Flyvbjerg and Clegg argue that the pursuit of universal normative principles and of rationality without power may lead to oppressive utopian thinking. Drawing on the Aristotelian tradition of phronesis, they propose a contextualist form of critique that situates itself in analysis of local practices to render domination transparent and open to change. While Haugaard accepts there cannot be a universal view that transcends the particularities of context, he argues that the phronetic approach is crypto-normative because it implicitly presupposes unacknowledged liberal normative premises; moreover, any use of 'truth' as a criterion follows Enlightenment principles of verification. © 2014 Taylor & Francis

Power and Politics
No full textPower and Politics, along with the companion set Power and Organizations, takes stock of power theory by reviewing its foundations, current status and emerging new directions in both organization studies and political theory. While there is evident synergy and cross-fertilization across the fields of organization studies and political theory, through the impact of work by figures such as Lukes, Bourdieu, Foucault, Haugaard, Clegg, Dean, Allen, and others there is sufficient distinction to warrant two separate but related collections. With Mark Haugaard, a leading figure in the field, as principal editor, Power and Politics focuses on power theory in the context of political power

Power in modernity: a discussion among Mark Haugaard, Clarissa Hayward, and Jonathan G. Heaney of Power in Modernity: agency relations and the creative destruction of the King’s two bodies, by Isaac Ariail Reed, with a reply by Isaac Reed
No full textIn this article, Haugaard, Hayward and Heaney discuss Reed’s Power in Modernity, and the author replies. The exchanges centres on the question of whether power relations should be theorized via Reed’s concepts of rector, actor, other, and project, and on the roles of performance agency in power’s exercise. The contributors discuss sseveral examples of political crises in modernity, including the storming of the U.S. Capitol on 6 January 2021
Freedom,power and relational equality: republican justice in diverse societies
No full textThis thesis is my response to a view of republicanism that has become orthodox among contemporary political theorists. On that view, when we are talking about what it means to be treated as free and equal in a republic we are talking about having a certain security or resilience against the arbitrary interference of other agents or agencies in our lives. Social equality, on this orthodox republican view, is secured if citizens enjoy ‘equal freedom as non-domination’ in their lives. While this orthodox view has a lot to recommend it, I do not think that it goes far enough in securing our freedom and equality in number of important additional domains. As I argue in this thesis, if republicanism is going to provide an attractive public philosophy for our contemporary age, as neo-republicans aspire it to, then we need to go beyond the narrow concern with relations of unfreedom and explore the various forms of non-freedom or disabling constraints to action that render citizens socially unequal vis-à-vis each other. Accordingly, in what follows, I argue for an account of republican relational equality, which I claim is more efficacious in removing cultural and symbolic inequalities in society than the standard republican view. Furthermore, I apply this conception of relational equality to one of the more challenging issues of our times, namely, the reasonable accommodation of minority cultures in a republic. As I will show, the account of republican equality developed in this thesis provides a normatively attractive way for adjudicating cases where the demands for individual freedom as non-domination conflicts with a minority group’s demand for recognition.2021-02-2
