Beschreibung
This book examines national power in the contemporary international system through an empirically grounded and theoretically integrated framework. Rooted in the trans-structural approach, it builds upon the theory of national-international power and consolidates the World Power Index (WPI) as a comprehensive measure of state capabilities across material, semimaterial, and immaterial dimensions.
The volume applies the WPI to measure, classify, and compare national power across the Global North and Global South, analyzing its implications for the provision of global public goods, health equity, artificial intelligence, ecological asymmetries, and the strategic role of elite sport in revealing national power and generating soft power.
More than a collection of studies, this book establishes the WPI as a reference framework for the study of national power and the international geostructure, offering scholars and policymakers a systematic foundation for interpreting the global power shift.

“This collection of essays is essential reading. At a time when international politics is rife with misinformation and malicious rhetoric, the analysis in the chapters provides a clear-eyed view of geopolitical change. A vital academic contribution is made by defining and operationalizing power. The vitality and diversity of inquiry is highlighted by a careful curation of chapters. An essential interjection into commentary and debate of global power dynamics is made by showcasing the possibility and value of empirical inquiry.” (Colin Flint, Distinguished Professor at Utah State University)
“National power is something that we all understand, but something that even academic experts struggle to measure. This book offers a series of practical applications of the World Power Index, showing how power indices can help us understand how countries compete, interact, and cooperate. Unlike most analyses that focus only on the so-called "great powers," Quantitative Approaches to Global Power takes sub-global and regional power seriously. Highly recommended.” (Salvatore Babones, Associate Professor at University of Sydney)
“The work Quantitative Approaches to Global Power presents a novel and enlightening theoretical and methodological advance of the World Power Index, an analytically rigorous tool for understanding the world we inhabit. With analytical consistency but also a welcome clarity, after demonstrating the explanatory power of emerging national realities from a global perspective, the book turns to the study of national case studies using the WPI, allowing them to be understood from a different, richer, and more fruitful perspective for comprehensive understanding.” (Pablo Pineda, Director of the PhD Programme in Political Science, University of Guadalajara)
