In the traditional theories of international politics, the concept of power has been understood in terms of material resources mainly possessed by the nation-states as major actors in international politics. Only with this concept of “actor-based material power,” however, we cannot grasp the nature of power politics that are transforming in the age of networks. In this context, this paper relies on the “network theory,” which has been presented in the field of natural and social science, and attempts to elicit some clues of an easy-but-concise concept of power in the age of networks. This paper suggests “network power” as a new concept of power for understanding world politics in the 21st century. The concept of network power does not predicated on the properties of nodes themselves or the resources that nodes possess. Rather, network power means the power originated from the relations among nodes - i.e., networks. This way of understanding power from the network perspective is very useful in capturing both dimensions of agent-based and structural power in the 21st century. In this context, this paper analyzes the complex aspects of network power at the three levels of actor, process, and system.
