Machiavelli wrote the Prince (published in 1532) to advise
princes about how to get, keep, and use political power. The book is still
regarded as one of the most influential books on politics, especially on issues
relating to political power.
In light of our class readings on power, write a 2-4 page
essay comparing the textbook definitions of power (see especially week 1) with
the notions expressed/ implicit in the excerpts from Machiavelli. How can you relate these notions to
prevailing norms in contemporary society and politics? Do you think that any of
any of the advice offered by Machiavelli can apply to modern day politicians?
Why? Why not? Please be sure to cite the sources in the APA citation format as
you make comparisons between the different definitions.
