Explanation
★The statement 'power is everywhere' is by Michel Foucault, so the answer is Foucault.
★Foucault rejected the idea that power is held by one person, class or state.
★Power, he held, runs through all relationships and social practices like a capillary network.
★It is not only repressive but productive, shaping knowledge, identity and conduct.

★Steven Lukes gave the three dimensional view of power as decisions, agendas and preferences.
★Robert Dahl studied power as the concrete winning of decisions in politics.
