Smart Power refers to the combination of Hard Power, the use of economic incentives or military strength[1]; and Soft Power, the ability to attract, persuade or co-opt[2], to influence the behaviour of others.
It is described as an approach that underscores the necessity of a strong military, but also invests heavily in diplomacy, alliances, partnerships, and capacity-building initiatives of all levels in order to expand power and influence in ways that are cost-effective and politically legitimate[3] [4].
It is argued that the most effective strategies in foreign policy today require the use of Smart Power resources; as employing only Hard Power or only Soft Power resources in a given situation will usually prove inadequate[5].
