This article is about the political term. For the former energy company, see National Power.
National power is defined as the sum of all resources available to a nation in the pursuit of national objectives.[1] Assessing the national power of political entities was already a matter of relevance during the classical antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and today.[2][failed verification] Classics Shang Yang,[3] Guan Zhong[4] and Chanakya,[5] widely discussed the power of state. Many other classics, such as Mozi,[6] Appian,[7] Pliny the Elder,[8] also concerned the subject. Herodotes described whence derives the power of Babylon.[9] The considerations of Hannibal on the matter is found in Titus Livy.[10]
