Abstract

The author, based on the methods of discourse analysis and comparative approach, presents the author’s interpretation of the attributes of a power state in its modern interpretation. The article reveals the relationship of specific definitions of a power state with the original methodological and ideological positions of researchers. The author comes to the conclusion that the interpretations of a power state often begin to dominate not so much scientific criteria, as ethical and psychological characteristics of the desirable model of a power state, often in a metaphorical form. Hence the need to objectify the signs and properties of the supposedly power state of the 21st century.
