Power (international relations) Power in international relations is defined in several different ways.

Those states that have significant amounts of power within the international system are referred to as small powers, middle powers, regional powers, great powers, superpowers, or hegemons, although there is no commonly accepted standard for what defines a powerful state. NATO Quint, The G7, the BRICS nations and the G20 are seen by academics as forms of governments that exercise varying degrees of influence within the international system.
Least of the Great Powers The least of the Great Powers is a label used to conceptualize Italy's international status. Italy is part of great power concerts such as the EU trio, the NATO Quint, the G7, the G20 and various International Contact Groups.

Alternative terms used by academics and observers to describe this concept include "intermittent Major power" or "small Great power", asserting that Italy's position in the international arena can be described in this way.
