hard power strategy

Hard power strategy refers to a country's ability to influence others through coercion, often involving military force or economic sanctions. It emphasizes the use of tangible resources, such as armed forces or financial pressure, to achieve national objectives or compel other nations to act in a desired way. This approach contrasts with soft power, which relies on persuasion, cultural influence, and diplomacy. In summary, hard power is about exerting control through direct means, often in situations where a country feels its interests are threatened or where negotiation isn't effective.
