Lukes' three dimensions of power

(Power framework) 1. Decision-making power: An individual can strictly decide over what another individual does. "A has power over B to the extent that A can make B do anything that B would not otherwise have done". This dimension is visible and thus easier to analyze. 2. Agenda-setting power: The power to control what is and what is not on the agenda. If you are able to control the context of decision-making, you can influence much more than one decision. 3. Manipulation: Manipulation is power over another person's thoughts, being able to control what they think and how they perceive different things, including themselves. Because manipulation is a more invisible dimension of power, it is also more difficult to analyze.
