The sources of national power underpinning relations with other countries, or foreign policy, have become diverse in today’s international community which embraces close to 190 sovereign states. In the modern era, when the imperialist Great Powers were competing with each other, massive military force held major sway over diplomatic relations, but in the increasingly integrated international community since the end of the Cold War, foreign policy is shaped by not only military force but also a number of other factors, including economic, technological and cultural strength. While the reality at international politics today is that military force undoubtedly c ontinues to play a certain role as a final resort in maintaining and resorting order, for diplomacy to produce national profit, it is becoming increasingly important for countries to enhance their international influence through a variety of strengths outside the purely military. Moreover, in the formation of a new international order looking ahead to the 21st century, the ability to conceptualize, design and persuade will be vital in drawing the international community in a direction to national advantage.

In today’s world, other factors than military force are emerging as important sources of power in managing with other countries. 3. Economic strength has been the most important source of power in pursuing national interest since the end of the Cold War. 4. As the number of countries in the world increases, the importance of military power will diminish. 5.
