Zobnin, A. V. Information Force in the World Policy and International Relations

Abstract: The article is devoted to one of the phenomena of modern world policy and international relations, the force of information. Theoretical grounds of the aforesaid global phenomenon were laid at the end of the 1990s by famous American politicians Joseph Nye Jr., David Rothkopf, Martin Libicki and Solomon based on numerous researches of works written by Karl Deutsch, Manuel Castells and Jurgen Habermas. Taking into account the methodological and theoretical instruments used by modern politics today, research of the phenomenon of the force of information should be related to the two paradigms, subjective-objective and spatial. The force of information in spatial paradigm represents the model – antithesis to information security. Information force is the action while information security is the counter-action. As a result of research, the author creates the 3D model of information force and offers a classifi cation of the leading states depending on the level of their information force potentials.


Keywords:

information force, information security, information influence, world (global) policy, information force potentials, spatial paradigm, objective-subjective paradigm, Joseph Nye Jr., international relations, information domination.
