Abstract

In the field of State Studies, power has usually been considered on the basis of coercion and special attention has been paid to deterministic mechanisms. As a contemplative indicator, a search for the concept of power on the Internet reveals how it relates to other coercive concepts such as domination, supremacy, pressure, and force. In this article, while pointing to the consequences of the mentioned limiting model, the main purpose is to reflect on the context of changing attitudes toward the deterministic foundation of power and in this regard, we try to insist on the consequences of the concept of "audience reception" in the context of Power Studies. On this basis, thinking about government power based on the issue of reception has led to the concept of power being considered clustered and complex, and caused it to have the characteristics such as "normative desirability and metamaterial function", "communicative nature", "integrative and expanding social integration", "model-maker and cultural prioritizer", "interrelated with knowledge", "sensitive to independence and interdependence" and "rejection of economism with the acceptance of the legitimacy of the social system". The research method is descriptive-explanatory and the main finding is that explaining how the element of satisfaction plays a role in power (government) studies can be considered as a basis and introduction to "cognitive transformation" in this field; A decisive development that brings a new horizon to the field of thinking about invisibility or soft-power in the field of coercive mechanisms of government power.
