ABSTRACT
The policies and practices of occupation control are merely one aspect of the problem of social control generally. So here we are not just concerned with theories of control-important as these are-but also with the actualizations of control, and this really means examining the ways in which control is practically implemented. But before we see how this operates in particular societies, we must ask just how this implementation of control is possible. How can it be achieved? The short-and obvious-answer is that occupying forces must have the capacity to implement their policies. Theoretical political plans can only be operationalized through the medium of power. So it is therefore the nature and exercise of power that require some analysis.
