Detailed explanation-1: -Power is often defined as the ability to get another actor to do what it would not otherwise have done (or not to do what it would have done). A variation on this idea is that actors are powerful to the extent that they affect others more than others affect them. These definitions treat power as influence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dahl (1915–2014) defined power as influence over the actions of others, arguing that, ‘A has power over B to the extent that he can get B to do something that B would not otherwise do’ (Dahl, 1957, pp. 202–3).
