Fighting Russia's 'Dark Power': The 'Bright Power' of Enacted Values
Original language description
The chapter analyses the declining hegemony of the collective West as a premise and an outcome of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It is argued that Joseph S. Nye's conceptualization of power manifestations in international relations must be revised. The dichotomy of hard vs soft power must be complemented with a new one, rising in significance, which is dark vs bright power. Dark power (Galeotti 2018), deployed by Russia, rests on destructive operations towards its adversaries. Herewith, political will and resolve gain more importance than the assets, while concessions and compromises signal weakness to take advantage of. It might be countered by what we label 'bright power', exemplified by Ukraine and its sympathizers across the political spectrum. It rests on the enactment of shared values in political decisions and everyday practices. It epitomizes a shift from instrumental to value rationality (Weber 1968).
