Mainstream international relations continues to assume that the
world is governed by calculable risk based on estimates of power,
despite repeatedly being surprised by unexpected change. This
ground breaking work departs from existing definitions of power
that focus on the actors' evolving ability to exercise control in
situations of calculable risk. It introduces the concept of
'protean power', which focuses on the actors' agility as they adapt
to situations of uncertainty. Protean Power uses twelve real world
case studies to examine how the dynamics of protean and control
power can be tracked in the relations among different state and
non-state actors, operating in diverse sites, stretching from local
to global, in both times of relative normalcy and moments of
crisis. Katzenstein and Seybert argue for a new approach to
international relations, where the inclusion of protean power in
our analytical models helps in accounting for unforeseen changes in
world politics.
