Abstract: The concept of power is central to studying of international relations. The main purpose of the paper is to discuss a modern understanding of power. The article surveys Joseph Nye's approach to the conceptualisation of power explaining the nature of international relations. It could be argued that Joseph Nye developed a theoretical framework that encourages rigorous attention to power in its different forms. Nye's theoretical concept of power is accompanied with examples from practice of international relations. Mainly, there are qualitative methods used in the paper, which are based on analysis and synthesis to provide contextual and subjective accuracy. To understand what power in international relations is, Nye underlines contextual intelligence, which is a crucial skill in enabling politicians and diplomats to be successful.
