Weber and Political Sociology Review
In the article, Weber Breiner proposes that the work of political sociology as promoted by Max Weber appeared throughout his work. Research in the article thus aimed at reconstructing the political sociology created by Weber with respect to an unprecedented existential dialectic. The author proposes that parties, which argue for the principles outlined within Weber’s political sociology framework, do so with a high focus on his definition of power as well as the legitimate domination forms. The main argument, which the author proposes, is the fact that Weber’s political sociology is centered on the conflict of gaining political ideologies and methodical domination and obedience. In some cases, routine social relations, which are geared towards seeking predictability usually select a particular group of character traits over others. The first concept lies within the issue of conflict while the second lies with routine commands.
Accordingly, he
has described politics as an institution that strives for “a share of power or
to influence the distribution of power whether between states or between groups
of people in a state” (Breiner 17). However, the issue of the ruling is also intricate in the sense that
subjects will need to be knowledgeable of its legitimacy be able to accept. A
staff member is able to enhance the
framework of rulership and domination,
thus providing a more stable body of authority for a leader, whether
charismatic, political, or a traditional domineering one (Breiner 15). The
author also proposes that Weber’s political standpoints dismiss the democratic
intentions as a strong form of legitimate rule within the political sociology.
However, he argues that radical democratic theories have in many cases been
said to connect with the popular
democratic involvements.
