I have to agree with this, although many - perhaps inspired by Critical
Theory - still find value in the Weberian concept.  For those who are
interested in the usage of Deleuze and Foucault, Paul Patton has written a
very good paper discussing domination and power in Foucault, and we can
access it free via Spoons at the following link:

atton
It was published in Jeremy Moss (ed), _The Later Foucault_ (1998).
