Soft Power

The Means to Success in World Politics
Book • 2004
In this book, Joseph Nye explains the concept of 'soft power' as the ability to shape the preferences of others through appeal and attraction, rather than through coercion or payment.

He argues that soft power is derived from a country's culture, political values, and foreign policies, and that it is a crucial component of international relations.

Nye differentiates soft power from hard power, emphasizing that soft power works indirectly by shaping the environment for policy and can take years to produce desired outcomes.

He also discusses the challenges and benefits of wielding soft power in international politics.
