Introduction

The sociology of power in development examines the dynamics of power within societies and how it influences the process of development. Power, in this context, refers to the ability of individuals or groups to influence decision-making and shape the development agenda.

It is often observed that power is unequally distributed, with certain individuals or groups having more influence and control over development processes than others. This unequal distribution of power can lead to marginalization and exclusion of certain segments of society, perpetuating social inequalities.

Understanding the sociology of power in development is crucial for promoting inclusive and equitable development that addresses the needs and aspirations of all members of society.
