- Hard Power
- Power is shifting from military to economic, because without a strong economy, a military force was not be possible.
- E.g. Crimeria annexation by RUSSIA- economic sanction placed on Russia- no MILITARY INTERVENTION
- However, REALISTS argue that military power is still the most important currency for power in global politics.
- E.g. SHOWN through INEVITABLY OF WAR- NUCLEAR WEAPONS
- Whereas NEOLIBERALISTS believe trade links has made war more costly and, thus, less likely.
- Shows that economic power is more of a currency of power in modern global politics, than military power
- E.g. FRIEDMAN'S DELL THEORY OF CONFLICT PREVENTION
- Shows that economic power is more of a currency of power in modern global politics, than military power
- Growth in SOFT POWER, due to decline of military power
- The ability to shape the preferences of others, through attraction, is more useful than hard power
- E.g. SPREAD OF DEMOCRACY-ARAB spring 2011.
- However, this led to conflict.
- This happens mainly through WESTERNISATION & AMERICANISATION
- CULTURE, POLITICAL BELIEFS & FOREIGN POLICIES
- E.g. SPREAD OF DEMOCRACY-ARAB spring 2011.
- SOFT POWER is managing relationships and charisma
- HARD POWER is organisational
