Abstract

SOFT POWER is one of the subjects which are considered by scholars during the last years. The nature of this kind of power is different from that of hard power. Experts supporting this kind of power believe by using power, the goals will be achieved by fewer expenses. The main proposition to the theory of SOFT POWER is that the players can achieve the desired results without using threat or tangible rewards. In this Article, the author has tried to challenge this theory be a critical approach. Therefore, after a brief introduction to this theory, the theory of SOFT POWER is discussed in five categories of “theory”, “definition”, “nature”, “resources” and “functions”. The main finding of the article is that the principle in international relations and strategic discussions is hard power, and SOFT POWER can be complementary to hard power for states with significant physical capabilities.
