Soft Power and US Foreign Policy

Theoretical, Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

Herausgeber: Parmar, Inderjeet; Cox, Michael

Beschreibung

Soft power is the use of attraction and persuasion rather than the use of coercion or force in foreign policy. Soft power arises from the attractiveness of a country's culture, political ideals and policies whereas hard power develops out of a country's military or economic might. This volume features a brand new chapter by Nye outlining his views on soft, hard and smart power and offers a critique of the Bush administration's inadequacies.The other contributions to the volume respond to Nye's views from a range of theoretical, historical and policy perspectives giving new insights in to both soft power and the concept of power itself.
