Power relations refer to the various ways in which power is distributed, maintained, and exercised within a social, political, or organizational context. This includes how power is wielded, negotiated, and contested between individuals, groups, or institutions. Power relations can be hierarchical or asymmetrical, with some individuals or groups having more power or influence than others. These power dynamics can shape and influence interactions, decision-making processes, and social outcomes in different ways. Understanding power relations is important in analyzing and challenging systems of inequality, oppression, and injustice.
