Summary/Abstract: The concept of protean power is a new concept in international relations. It was designed by Peter Katzenstein as a response to the traditional concept of control power. This concept got its name "proteus" after the Greek god of the sea, Proteus, who was known for his gift of predicting the future, but also for avoiding giving answers to queries by changing his shape, so he predicted the future only to those who would manage to catch him. So Proteus often left the other party in suspense. Proteian power is exactly like that, because it tries to take advantage of uncertainty and to adapt to the new situation.
