The former assumption is true of agential power\, the latter of causal power\, but neither is true of the social power of agents in general. Distinguishing between agential and structural power\, I defend a notion of structural power as a type of non-intentional\, passive power agents have in virtue of their position in a social structure and independently of their intentional actions. Distinguishing between causal and non-causal power\, I also defend a non-causal type of power by which agents effect or elicit outcomes without causing them. Agential and structural power\, moreover\, are internally related: structural power is in certain contexts latently agential. \nSpeaker Bio \n\nArash Abizadeh is Professor in the Department of Political Science and Associate Member of the Department of Philosophy at McGill University. His research focusses on democratic theory; democracy’s relation to identity\, nationalism\, and cosmopolitanism; immigration and border control; social and political power; and seventeenth- and eighteenth-century philosophy\, particularly Hobbes and Rousseau. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit our YouTube page to watch videos of past events\, like our Facebook page\,and follow our twitter @global_ethics. CGEP Director: Carol C.
