Structural realist theories of international politics expect a middle-level power such as Iran to act within the limits permitted by its share of material capabilities.
Contrary to its relatively consistent material capabilities, the Islamist regime's foreign policy has exhibited volatility.
No better definition of power exists than that offered by Robert Dahl half a century ago: the ability to get someone to do that which they otherwise would not have done.16 While this definition of power may be difficult to empirically measure, it has the irreplaceable advantage of conceptual accuracy.17 Nonetheless, because of the measurement problem, power is often assessed by comparing one state's material capabilities to another.
In this way, two separate concepts - power and material capabilities - become conflated.
Conversely, material capabilities are an absolute concept.
