After the concept of force has been overcome the concept of power in its intellectual content transcends the military meaning to a broader concept to include political, economic, social, and technological power, but none of the sources of power, no matter how many, acquires weight and influence once it exists, but this weight and impact is related to the ability to consciously interfere to convert the sources of power into energy with capacity To make a difference in the behavior of others. As a result of the changes in the patterns of the international system, the concepts of power multiplied, and were divided between different types of (Hard Power), Soft Power, and Smart Power, as the first concept: It was and still is prevalent in its uses, as one of the tools The foreign policy of states in winning wars, and the second concept: it is the ability for countries to obtain what they want through gravity instead of coercion or temptation, through the values of culture, civilization and politics in a country in its dealings in other parties in the international environment .The research found that there has been a shift in the use of forms of force from its traditional form (solid power) to a model consisting of a box of diplomatic, military, economic, technological, and symbolic tools that combines the two forms of solid and soft power that have been called smart power, and the tendency of international politics to tend to adopt concepts of theory New realism more than traditional theory.
