Silent Language of Power

The Silent Language of Power explores the hidden battlefield of diplomacy-nonverbal communication-through the psycho-gestural lens of Vladimir Putin. Blending theory from Pease, Ekman, Messinger, and Darwin with in-depth analysis of Putin's posture, gestures, and expressions, the book reveals how power is performed, not just spoken. Drawing on psychological profiling, diplomatic negotiation theory, and geopolitical case studies-from Crimea to Ukraine-the work illustrates how Putin's nonverbal mastery commands fear, respect, and silence. Romanian author Raluca Niță decodes the coded: how a look, a pause, or a hand gesture reshapes alliances and redraws borders. This unique contribution bridges psychoanatomy and realpolitik, showing how image, emotion, and gesture can silently lead nations to war-or peace. A must-read for those who want to understand the language leaders speak without words.
