Take the question of power for instance: every candidate would have gone for it but a few would know the difference between power as attribute and relational power.
Well said. Lol you made me realize what I had missed in my answer. I focused mostly on the realist concept of power and how the acquisition of power and security are interlinked. And I talked about Gramsci's theory of structuralism. The rest I don't remember but I think this was the theoretical perspective I focused on.
