Abstract

In this paper, we show that supervisory control theory of discrete event systems can be applied to analyze the problem of power in political economy. For this purpose, we introduce the decision mechanism of control inputs based on power, and the consequent behavior of a supervised system. Specifically, this paper presents the notion of power-controllability as a necessary and sufficient condition to achieve a common control objective of competing groups (local controllers). If the power-controllability is met, a modular system controlled by local controllers with power functions is not deviated from a common control objective of them.

본 논문에서는 이산사건시스템의 관리제어이론을 정치경제학에서 권력의 문제를 해석하는데 응용할 수 있음을 보인다. 이를 위해 권력에 기초한 제어입력의 결정 메커니즘과 이를 통한 관리제어시스템의 동작을 정의한다. 구체적으로, 경쟁하는 집단들(제어기들)의 공통 제어목적을 달성하기 위한 필요 충분 조건으로 권력-제어가능성의 개념을 소개한다. 이 조건이 만족되면 정해진 권력함수를 가진 집단들의 모듈러 제어를 통해 제어된 시스템은 공통의 제어목적을 벗어나지 않는다.
