The Mutual Influence Of Resources And Power Under The Nonviolence Conditions

For a long time, the power has been core concept in politics, Jurisprudence and economics. Resources are usually related with economics, used for analyzing the operation of market. In politics, the relationship between resources and power is illustrated for the birth of the country. But in economics, most scholars hold standpoint: power assigns resources. Organizational theories point: power is born in the transaction of resources. The strength of power is decided by the demand of the resources to the organization and actor. Take a wide view of the sociological history, the relationship between resources and power is also important. Max. Weber's definition about power is accepted. He defines that power is ability which carries through one's will but ignoring opposition. Authority is power that people are admitted. Both power and authority can get and control resources. In corresponding, power and authority comes from deprival and transfer of resources. Talcott Parsons isn't agreed that power is related to violence. He states power can get benefit for everyone, it is systematic resources. Pierre Bourdieu's〝 Exchange and Power in Social Life〞says the disproportion of resources transaction produces power. The number, importance and substitution of resources affect ownership and strength of power. Differing from above standpoints, James S. Coleman says actor can control his resources. When actor finds he needs other one's resources, he should make traction. Both traders can get interest. So power to Coleman is ability of controlling one's own resources. Many scholars consider power as macroscopic factor that can guarantee the movement of country and organization. Power is decided by the preciousness, number and quality. The effect of power is also enhanced in the operation of resources. Giddens and Bourdieu break this old rule, their theories is wide and profound. It contains both macroscopic political view and microcosmic capability for action. The resources also get more contents. Bourdieu brings strategy into the relationship between resources and power.Writer researches the relationship between resources and power into the houses development in village GL, the city of Shenyang, by interviewing individual cases and participating observation. In cases, there is not national macroscopic and illegal violent power. The contents of the resources are abundant, not only confine on concrete objects, but also are different from capital. So writer uses the theories of Giddens and Bourdieu in which resources and power are microcosmic. In concrete analysis of cases, the theories of Bourdieu and Coser, new institutional economics are taken into study. The conclusion in fist investigative step is below:First, not only different kinds of resources of the same people can influence each other, but also the resources of different people in same circumstances can influence each other too. Mutual support of resources can increase their value and make power enlarged, vice verso is same too. Second, in the circumstances which information isn't symmetric, if people don't have demonstration, they usually make wrong decision about the value of resources. But if people have demonstration, they estimate resources again, which decide the strength of power. Third, even in the circumstances of transparent information, the people in negotiation know well each other, the arrangement, combination and choice of different resources also decide the strength of power. Vice versa, the strength of power influences the arrangement, combination and value. Fourth, resources and power don't always affect each other directly. Conflict is a bridge between them. It isn't a negative role, but also a way of integration. So conflict can activate the latent value of resources and promote getting the power. Finally, in no government behavior, the application of the social resources usually makes power that government behavior can not get. It deals with affair more vividly and more effectively than government behavior. It is also connected with Chinese traditional culture. Above conclusion shows: resources and power are not always in balance, this means the equal resources can get equal power, the strategy, field (demonstration, conflict), etc influence the strength of power and obtaining of power; contrary, the strength of power also restricts the choice of resources and the realizing of its value.
