The concept of power and its sources in international relations in light of recent developments

Author(s):

Ihsan Muhammad Hadi and Salah Karim Faqir

Abstract:

The concept of power is a central concept in the field of international relations, and it is one of the most complex and difficult concepts to study. It is difficult to accurately measure its elements and the material and non-material variables that are included in its composition, and most importantly, there are no fixed facts that constitute it, which reflects the dynamism of this concept. This world is a world distributed among countries that differ in their capabilities and influence. There are countries that appear strong in front of other countries, but are weak in front of a third country. The complexity has increased with the entry of technological development and artificial intelligence, which has changed its concept, and countries have begun to compete to obtain and possess the new variable that has entered, which is “artificial intelligence” and cyber space technology.
