The Relationship

One of the fundamental categories of general sociology concerns power. Regardless of differences in interpretation, power can be defined as the dependence between subordinator and subordinated. This relation is unidirectional. When discussing influence, this property is significant, as otherwise it could be reciprocal, or an influence could be exerted by many other entities that are not bound by the relationship of subordination. The nature of international relations is too specific to allow a simple transfer of power-related phenomena from the realm of domestic relations. One can indicate the presence of delegated power, resulting from the mutual assignment of subordination rights to international decision- making bodies. The processes of international power are divided into procedures of hard power, soft power and smart power, the latter signifying the manifestation of effective power, making use of the mechanisms of the former two. It is also important to take into account the specificity of the legitimization of international power and manifestations of accountability. Also not without significance is the capacity for the implementation of international power, equipped with the relevant enforcement instruments.

General Meaning

The general meaning of “proxy war” is the pursuit of one’s interests exploiting other actors. Measures to this end can be implemented in two ways: through hard and soft power. As far as countering the activities of terrorist organizations is concerned, it can be seen that self-interest is placed above efforts against terrorism. The civil war in Syria and the activities of terrorist organizations have become grounds for greater involvement of global powers in the struggle for gaining influence in the country. This paper aims to show the actions of global and regional powers and other state actors taken in an attempt to assert power and influence under the guise of the fight against terrorism. The paper is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part discusses aspects related to Josepha Nye’s concept of “smart power” and the notions of “proxy war” and “proxy activities”. The practical part discusses the activities of international actors pursuing their interests through official involvement in the fight against Daesh in the Syrian territory.

Analisar, compreender e teorizar sobre o cenário político internacional, é uma tarefa que não só requer aprofundamento teórico e percepção crítica pautados nas questões presentes, mas também exige uma com¬preensão de dados e contextos históricos distintos. Tendo esta percep¬ção como ponto de partida, buscou-se, no presente artigo, compreender os conceitos atuais de poder aplicados ao mundo político a partir da teoria liberal. Porém e especificamente, o foco deste trabalho esteve diretamente ligado ao aprofundamento do conceito de Soft Power – ou poder brando, cunhado por Joseph Nye. Para uma compreensão didática do tema, optou-se por descrever brevemente o cenário político mundial que possibilitou o surgimento de novas perspectivas de análise – neste caso, o período do Pós-Guerra Fria e do início da globalização. Joseph Nye dá início à sua teoria a parir dos conceitos de poder anteriores a este período, e mostra como a nova configuração mundial que se esta¬beleceu por meio do sistema de redes globalizadas, reconfiguraram os discursos e modelos de atuação políticas no cenário internacional. En¬tretanto, Nye vai além e mostra que o Hard Power (poder duro), apesar de perder muita força para o Soft Power (poder brando), não deixou de ser uma opção dos Estados, e mostra que o uso associado dos dois po¬deres – que geram o Smart Power (poder inteligente) – é ainda mais efi¬caz ao Estado que domine a arte de utilizá-lo. É com essa percepção que o autor mostra a evolução do conceito de poder e mostra como eles se aplicam ao momento presente. Mesmo partindo da necessidade de se compreender o poder brando, percebeu-se que o poder inteligente é a forma mais evoluída de poder político, segundo as considerações do autor.

O presente artigo analisa outra vertente (por vezes ignorada ou subestimada) do conceito de poder, o soft power, relacionando-o com o caso concreto de uma potência em ascensão: a China. Inicia-se por definir a noção de soft power, distinguindo-a, para este efeito, dos conceitos de hard power e de smart power. Se, numa primeira fase se recorrerá, sobretudo, à teoria para destacarmos as principais características do soft power, a segunda etapa, essencialmente prática, baseia-se em um estudo de caso: investiga o comportamento da China em matéria de soft power. Desta forma, pretende-se conferir à teoria uma aplicabilidade, sendo ambas duas peças que não se excluem, antes interagem harmoniosamente. Como se concretiza a "ofensiva de charme" chinesa no Sudeste Asiático? Que pontos fortes e pontos fracos tem o soft power chinês? Como se comporta a China perante a questão dos Estados-pária? Como se comporta o soft power chinês no que diz respeito à estratégia marítima da China? Estas e outras questões serão abordadas pelo presente artigo. Na prática, procura-se demonstrar que, ao contrário do passado, o soft power já não é um elemento "estranho" no discurso oficial chinês. Na verdade, a China de hoje parece estar mais preocupada com a imagem que o mundo tem dela.

The Eu

The main purpose of the article is to ask whether the European Union is a smart power actor. Most of the previous research has treated the EU as a soft power. This work is an analysis of the tools which the European Union uses in its foreign policy. Research has been conducted in the context of types of powers, which have been formulated by Joseph Nye: hard power, soft power and smart power. It was necessary to survey what instruments does the European Union use to have impact on other participants of international relations. Nowadays, a range of these tools is relatively developed, taking into account that the EU is an international organisation. In the conclusion, it is stated that the contemporary European Union should be treated as a soft power, but simultaneously it is an actor which attempts to become a smart power, and has relevant predispositions to it.

Abstract“Soft power” is a relatively new concept that describes an entity’s ability to influence and alter the behavior of other entities through attraction and co-option, in contrast to hard power which uses incentives and coercion. Assessment of the role of GI GI (Gastrointestinal) Endoscopy in present day’s health care shows it to have the required attractive and influential properties of a soft power. In this article we examine the diagnostic and therapeutic roles that GI endoscopy, as a soft power, has taken over, and the further evolution of this field into a smart power.
