Distribution of power in the Visegrad countries. A powermetric approach
Distribution of power in the Visegrad countries. A powermetric approach

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of research on the distribution of power in the four states of the Visegrad Group (Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and the Slovak Republic) in the prospect of a powermetric approach, according to the synthetic formal model of measurement of economic power, military power, and geopolitical power of the state and its derivative indicators, which strengthen or weaken the position of the state in the system. This model has been developed by the Polish researcher Mirosław Sułek (Warsaw University). The regional distribution of all three categories of power of VG states has a unipolar structure, which is dominated by Poland with over fifty percent share in the total regional power of the VG structure. Assessment of the distribution of power is the first step to a comprehensive evaluation of the game of power and the game of interests in every international system.
