The concept of power relations was first proposed by Karl Marx, who sought to overthrow the existing social structures and create a new world order. The term refers to a matrix of possible actors (and their interactions), who determine the nature and content of social interactions on the basis of hierarchical arrangements in a society. Power relations can thus be seen as one of the most relevant targets of change in any political or structural process of social reform.
