The arrival of post-industrial society has transformed the
traditional bases of national power, and thus the methods used to
measure the relative power of nations should be reassessed as well.
Appreciating the true basis of national power requires not merely a
meticulous detailing of visible military assets but also a scrutiny
of larger capabilities embodied in such variables as the aptitude
for innovation, the soundness of social institutions, and the
quality of the knowledge base - all of which may bear upon a
country's capacity to produce the one element still fundamental to
international politics: effective military power. The authors
reconfigure the notion of national power to accommodate a wider
understanding of capability, advancing a conceptual framework that
measures three distinct areas - national resources, national
performance, and military capability - to help the intelligence
community develop a better evaluation of a country's national
power. The analysis elaborates the rationale for assessing each of
these and offers ideas on how to measure them in tangible ways.
