| 21132 | Domination is probable obedience by some group of persons [Weber] |
| Full Idea: Domination is the probability that a command with a specific content will be obeyed by a given group of persons. | |
| From: Max Weber (Economy and Society [1919], p.53), quoted by Andrew Shorten - Contemporary Political Theory 06 | |
| A reaction: Said to be an 'influential definition'. In principle you might have no domination, but be regularly obeyed because your commands were so acceptable to a very independent-minded group of people. That said, good definition! |
