Using Eda Gunaydin's Root and Branch as a record of a political system in action, identify one specific example of each of the first, second and third ‘faces’ of power. Requirements for the essay itself: Identify one specific example of each of the first, second and third ‘faces’ (or ‘dimensions’) of power within Root and Branch. (The first face/dimension is associated with Dahl; the second with Bachrach and Baratz; the third with Lukes or Gaventa.) Your analysis must clearly identify three separate instances of power, each example from a different chapter. To conclude your analysis, briefly reflect on the most important issues you think were raised by applying the three faces/dimensions of power to Root and Branch. Stay focused on the faces/dimensions of power. Do not summarise the book, or tell me what it is about (I've read it), or include details external to the book regarding when and where the action is set, what Gunaydin meant, or what the critics have had to say about it. Do not stray into discussion of aspects of power other than the three faces. Note that while each face/dimension is often associated with a particular theory of the distribution of power in societies (i.e., the first face/dimension with pluralism, the second with elite theory and the third with Marxism), the wider merits of these theories are not our concern in this analysis. You should not read or cite anything other than Root and Branch and the relevant Week 3 readings (i.e., Dahl, Bachrach and Baratz, Lukes, and/or Gaventa) in completing the essay. Write your analysis up in a standard essay format, including conventional citation of materials.
