  • Summary

    You know Hollywood, you are likely familiar with India’s Bollywood, and you may have heard of Nigeria’s Nollywood. There is also Chollywood in China, Wellywood in New Zealand, Lollywood in both Pakistan and Liberia, and several more in Africa. Such labeling of regional film industries reveals more than an attempt at a catchy gimmick. The reference to Hollywood in all these cases is clear, but so is the alternative desire to produce films that the Los Angeles-based studios are unable or unlikely to offer. Similar reinvention efforts have rebalancing consequences for the film industry, often beyond what their initiators intended. Each of the many “woods” caters to diverse tastes, some more and some less specific than those of Hollywood’s traditional target viewers. Most importantly, non-Hollywood film production undermines the pretense of control over cultural templates and meanings that move global audiences and even pushes traditionally powerful actors to abandon the assumptions of calculability.

  • Summary

    Power is not ending, as the public intellectual and former editor of the journal Foreign Policy, Moisés Naím, argues.1 But it is true that in different political arenas big players are challenged by small ones who are using new playbooks that make power both more available and more evanescent. Naíim’s description of power dynamics is often on target; his exclusive focus on the erosion of control power is not. Otto von Bismarck, Germany’s “Iron Chancellor,” knew better. He did not aspire to “control the current of events, only occasionally to deflect them.”2 In a world of risk mixed with uncertainty it is the relations between protean and control power that shape the security of states, the competitiveness of economies, and the resilience of societies.

  • Summary

    This book opened with an invitation to think afresh about power and uncertainty in world politics. This concluding chapter summarizes in its first section the findings of the twelve empirical case studies (in ten chapters). Since actors regularly have to tackle both risk and uncertainty, control and protean power are closely related. The efficacy of control power is not in question; the persistent neglect of protean power’s agility and potentiality is.

    In its second section, this chapter probes the writings of ancient, modern, and contemporary political theorists on the issue of control and protean power. During the last half century, conceptual and explanatory inquiries into power have failed to plumb the insights of political theorists. International relation scholars are a partial exception to this generalization, but even their interest has been limited to a handful of theorists, such as Hobbes or Kant.
