	Power (international) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Great Powers are usually taken to be those nations or political entities that, through their great economic and military strength, are the arbiters of world diplomacy, and whose opinions must be taken into account by other nations before effecting initiatives.
		In Western thought, the power of a state is generally thought of in qualitative terms; however, in the current political thinking of the People's Republic of China, national power can be measured quantitatively using an index known as comprehensive national power.
		State power is often divided into hard power (military power) and soft power (economic or cultural or persuasive power).

	Hard power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hard power is a concept which is mainly used in realism in international relations and refers to national power which comes from military and economic means.
		Hard power lies at the command end of the spectrum of behaviours and describes a nation's ability to coerce or induce another nation to perform a course of action.
		This can be done through military power which consists of coercive diplomacy, war and alliance using threats and force with the aim of coercion, deterrence and protection.

	Adaptive Power Management for Mobile Hard Drives
		For example, mobile hard drive capacity is increasing at over 60% per year, requiring a reduction in the W/GB of 60% per year just to meet a constant power budget.
		Power consumption is lowered to the range of 0.3 watts, but recovery time from Standby mode to Active mode is increased to a few seconds.
		The drive enters low power modes rapidly when it is confident that the command burst has ended, and more slowly (or not at all), when it determines that the command activity has not ceased.

	Between Hard and Soft Power:The Rise of Civilian-Based Struggle and Democratic Change
		Hard power is the use of military force and economic measures, often in response to short and intermediate crises; its policies are generally more coercive.
		The difference between civilian-based power and hard and soft power is that civilian-based power is indigenous.
		The strategic use of civilian-based power is a way for people with no military alternative that's viable to fight for their rights and to liberate themselves from oppression.

		Hard rock is a form of rock and roll music that findsits closest roots in early 1960s garage rock.
		Hard Rock is usually, but not always written with major key song construction, as opposed to heavy metal, which is often minor key oriented.
		The guitar solo is very important part of a hard rock song, and leads to the credibility of the song just as much as thelyrics and vocal melodies do.

	Matthew Yglesias: Two Kinds of Hard Power
		Economic power is, along with military power, a kind of hard power, something that can be wielded to coerce other countries to do what you want.
		Thanks to the current account situation, America's store of economic hard power, which should be considerable in light of the huge size of our economy, amounts to rather less than it otherwise might.
		It's meant basically to register whether the power is such that it allows you to coerce others, on the one hand, or merely to persuade, on the other.

	Yesico FL-420ATX - Silent Power Supply (0db) - Hard-h2o
		A quality Power Supply is very important if we overclock our system; as we must raise the voltage on the different lines and thus on our expensive components, with a good Power Supply we will assure that the voltages will be stable enough and that we will get that increased power output that overclocking requires.
		Inside a Power Supply we find the diverse electronic components used to transform the 220v (in most parts of Europe) current from our wall electric sockets into different 5 and 12v lines that feed the computer.
		That is the reason almost all Power Supplies include a fan that, besides cooling the components inside the Power Supply, also extracts hot air from inside the case.

	Soft Power: The Means to Success in World Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Saddled as we are with a foreign policy that largely relies on the hard power of our military and economic might, rather than capitalizing on the soft power of shared values, we would all agree that America’s recent foreign policy initiatives are seen as less than successful in the eyes of the world.
		Soft power is essential to be able to attract the majorities to the values that I just described -- not necessarily to being Americans, but in a diverse and pluralistic world to better opportunities, education, health care, and a sense of dignity.
		The answer is not to pretend that hard power doesn’t matter -- it does and we will need to continue to use it -- but realise that to use hard power without combining it with soft power, which has all too often been the practice in the last few years, is a serious mistake.

	danieldrezner.com :: Daniel W. Drezner :: China extends its soft power
		I agree that "hard power" is worth little without this, and the ultimate economic failure of the Soviet Union may lie simply in its failure to be desirable outside the sphere of its "hard power."
		Soft power, for example, is what religious authorities wield, but it's also the power that Hollywood wields in disseminating a worldwide impression of the USA as a great place to live.
		I agree with Zathras that soft power as a concept has a lot of flaws and is probably something of a fad, but the larger point is that China is winning politically against us in the region, and this is a contest we should win easily.

		Power based on intangible or indirect influences such as culture, values, and ideology.
		But if the United States were to follow policies that cut domestic consumption by the two percent of GNP by which it rose in the past decade, the richest country in the world could afford both better education at home and the international influence that comes from an effective aid and information program abroad.
		What is needed is increased investment in "soft power," the complex machinery of interdependence, rather than in "hard power" — that is, expensive new weapons systems.

	E-Notes: Heartland Geopolitics and the Case of Uzbekistan - FPRI
		Surrounded by four regional powers with nuclear weapons (Russia, China, India, and Pakistan) and one that seeks them (Iran) and permeated by a global hegemon that has military bases throughout it, Central Asia could turn out to be the geographic fulcrum of global balance.
		It can be an economically integrated and stable buffer zone of independent states, where friction among regional powers accordingly dissipates (as Mackinder might suggest); or it will be a place where tension builds among competing states and surrounding powers even as the region’s jobless youth are recruited and retained by terrorists.
		Those forces are comprised of various powerful family clans who generally hold one of two perspectives on the world: reactionaries who only want to stay in power (and for years prevented currency convertibility); or progressives who want Uzbekistan to compete in a global economy and contribute to a global civilization.

		The first is the power to coerce, largely through military might; the second, the power to co-opt through such ''intangible'' factors as culture, values and institutions (the media, churches, schools and so forth).
		In an era of globalized information, Nye observes, the power to persuade has become almost as important as the power to compel, and he criticizes American policy makers for their single-minded focus on brute force.
		And the use of our immense hard power for soft purposes has the additional benefit of humanizing the fierce image inevitably projected by that power: the same military that shocks and awes can also save and heal.
