Economist Boulding showed that between the human action ends of malevolence and benevolence, there are three faces of power, namely: integrative (intensive in reciprocity and altruism), exchange (with various selfishness levels), and threat (can turn into destructive). He also suggested that there is an organizational power that becomes essential in the success of the other powers. A critical reading of such contribution allows to show the following shades: incidence of human motivations such as reason, passion and interest in power, social interactions and power limits, some costs and benefits of the different power types, including non-violent action attributes. Finally, key questions are suggested for future research development.
