Bertrand de Jouvenel, a prominent French political thinker of the 20th century, in his book provides a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of political power in both theoretical and historical aspects. The author examines various theories of sovereignty and shows to what results the application of these theories in practice leads. In his opinion, power is characterized by an indestructible desire for expansion. The scholar identifies the psychological roots and cultural consequences of this expansion. The book pays special attention to the relationship between power and law. B. de Jouvenel traces the evolution of political institutions throughout the democratic era, which gave presidents and parliaments the kind of power that medieval barons would have envied. The book vividly shows the dangers hidden in modern democracy, as well as the totalitarian tendencies lurking in the doctrine of the sovereignty of the people.
