Political Power and Legitimacy | Max Weber | Political Sociology

In this video, we explore political power and legitimacy through the ideas of Max Weber, one of the most influential sociologists in understanding authority and governance. Weber defined power as the ability to enforce one’s will even against resistance, and legitimacy as the recognized and accepted right to exercise that power.

This lecture explains Weber’s three types of authority: traditional, charismatic, and legal-rational, and how each form shapes political systems, leadership, and social order. We also discuss how legitimacy maintains stability in societies and why challenges to it can lead to conflict or social change. Real-life examples from historical and contemporary politics help illustrate Weber’s insights into authority, governance, and political behavior.

Presented in clear and simple language, this video is ideal for sociology students, political science learners, and anyone interested in understanding how power operates and is justified in society. By the end of this lecture, you will be able to explain the nature of political power, analyze forms of legitimacy, and understand their impact on social and political life.
