The challenges are global in their nature and affect the policies of many countries. A prevalent trend in today s global context is the individual nation-states concern over their power and influence. This is especially significant in light of the growing geopolitical tensions, as well as the diffusion of power among global actors. One can differentiate between hard and soft power tools in international relations. Traditionally, the states opted for hard power tools in the framework of realpolitik thinking. Meanwhile, the scholars and practitioners start to recognize that the world is in need of a shift from old assumptions and rigid distinctions about hard and soft power since the economic and political challenges can no longer be simply resolved by military power or policy innovation (Bound, et al.)
