Concept of power is as ancient in Political Science as is political thought, but modern political scholars consider power as basic element of Political Science. Catlin, Lasswell, Max Webber, Merrian, Russel, etc, scholars consider power as such a basic element that binds the Political Science in one string.
Catlin has considered Political Science as a science of power. According to Lasswell, “The concept of power is the most fundamental in the whole Political Science, while political process is study of distribution, use and effect of power.” In this way, concept of power is studied in Political science in the form of a basic and fundamental concept.
