Power in international relations is defined in several different ways. Modern discourse generally speaks in terms of state power, indicating both economic and military power. Those states that have significant amounts of power within the international system are referred to as middle powers, regional powers, great powers, superpowers, or hegemons, although there is no commonly accepted standard for what defines a powerful state. The G7, the BRIC and the G20 are seen as forum of governments that exercise varying degrees of influence within the international system. Entities other than states can also be relevant in power acquisition in international relations. Such entities can include multilateral international organizations, military alliance organizations like NATO, multinational corporations like Wal-Mart, non-governmental organizations such as the Roman Catholic Church or Al-Qaeda, or other institutions such as the Hanseatic League. ==Concepts of political power== Political scientists, historians, and practitioners of international relations (diplomats) have used the following concepts of political power: * Power as a goal of states or leaders; * Power as a measure of influence or control over outcomes, events, actors and issues; * Power as victory in conflict and the attainment of security; * Power as control over resources and capabilities; * Power as status, which some states or actors possess and others do not. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Power (international relations)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
