Özet:

Change is inevitable in every conception of politics. The conception of power is not an exception. The main debate of International Relations (IR), realism and liberalism, represent this change process though, change can also be witnessed in each conception as well. The general currency can be observed as a transition from measurable, coercive and deterrent nature towards value-laden, cooperative and co-optive nature of power. The context of power can be assumed by factors such as international political environment and perceived nature of threat that requires a ‘flexible’ approach to describe its nature. Besides intention of actor should be credited to asses the efficiency of its power.
