Question

What are the measuring techniques of political influence?

Answer 1

Everyone related with politics is interested in measuring his adversary’s political influence. Influence in politics largely depends on political sources and skill to use them. Political resource is a means by which one can influence the behaviour of other persons. For measuring influence, one can rely on Dahl’s notion that A influences B to the extent that he gets B to do something that B would not otherwise do. We can notionally measure A’s influence on B when the latter does x when A does not influence B. When A does influence, B does x1. Thus, the influence of A on B would be x1 – x. We can determine direction, volume, scope, weight and durational effect of a person’s influence under study.
