The concept of power has its roots with max weber and achieved great influence

among the american political scientists in the 1960s through the work of dahl and
his pluralists.

THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL VIEW is also known as the pluralist view of power- that power
is distributed pluralistically.

we see that pluralists see their focus on behaviour in the making of decisions over
key or important issues as involving actual, observable conflict.

hence, this one-dimensional view of power involves a focus on behaviour in the

making of decisions on issues over which there is an observable conflict of
(subjective) interests, seen as express policy preferences, revealed by political
participation.
