The term 'power' is derived from the Latin word 'potere' meaning 'to be able'. This means that power can be seen as having the potential to do something. The concept of 'soft power' was coined by political scientist Joseph Nye in 1990. This type of power relies on persuasion or influence rather than coercion. The term 'smart power' was created by former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2009. It combines elements of hard power and soft power to achieve a strategic goal.
