Can we mention various types of power in international politics? Joseph Nye, for example, has classified power as “soft power,” “hard power,” and “smart power.” Hard power is the use of coercion and payment; soft power is the ability to obtain preferred outcomes through attraction; smart power is the combination of the tools of both hard power and soft power (2009: 160). Accordingly, for Joseph Nye, there are three ways for an actor to affect the behavior of others to get what it wants: coercion, payment, and attraction.
