Abstract

Cieľom článku je analýza existujúcich pohľadov na mäkkú moc – kriticky prehodnocovaný koncept v teórii medzinárodnej politiky – prostredníctvom vybraných aspektov o moci. V prvej časti sa zameriavame na rôzne prístupy k jej charakteru, ktoré následne dopĺňame poznatkami o sociálnej moci. Pozornosť sústreďujeme na jednu z kritických analýz konceptu mäkkej moci, na základe ktorej spolu s ďalšími teoretickými poznatkami dospievame k záveru, že „cukor a bič“ zostávajú prevládajúcimi formami moci v medzinárodných vzťahoch. Napriek tomuto poznatku však treba, aby sa mäkká a tvrdá moc na teoretickej úrovni naďalej rozlišovali. Kritérium odlíšenia nepredstavuje charakter materiálnosti, ale donútenie. (The aim of the article is to examine the concept of soft power which continues to be a critically examined topic by scholars. In the first part of the article we introduce different points of view on the nature of soft power followed by a brief overview of the theoretical knowledge about social power. In the course of the article, our attention is drawn to one of the critical soft power’s analysis, which in line with other authors’ observations leads us to conclusion, that “carrots and sticks” remain the dominant forms of power in international relations. Despite this observation, it is necessary to continue to distinguish between soft power and hard power. However, the criterion of differentiation is coercion, not the material or immaterial character of power.)
