Now in paperback, Joseph Nye’s "indispensable" guide to reshaping America’s role in the world (Publishers Weekly) Joseph Nye coined the term "soft power" to describe a nation’s ability to attract and persuade. Whereas hard power-the ability to coerce-grows out of a country’s military or economic might, soft power arises from the attractiveness of its culture, political ideals, and policies. Hard power remains crucial in a world of states trying to guard their independence and of non-state groups willing to turn to violence. But as a new administration-whether Republi

"He is a remarkably skillful interpreter of the positivist legal philosophers and probably the most stimulating current contributor to discussion of the issues they raised."--Thomas Morawetz in Ethics. Joseph Raz examines here the nature of law and its relations to morality, concentrating on the issue of the proper moral attitude of a citizen towards the law of his country. A discussion of the concept of legitimate authority is followed by a detailed explanation and defense of the legal positivist’s approach to law. Within this framework the author examines several areas where legal an

The decision to pay money for a product or service is often based on more than just the product or service itself. Consumers care deeply about the overall experience of the buying process: They respond to the marketing message, the advertising, the sales approach, the website, the interaction with company personnel, and more. When all these elements come together to form a seamless experience, the customer is left with a feeling of satisfaction that ultimately builds loyalty. Jim Joseph calls this ideal combination the ’experience effect’, and in this book he shows how any business

What must the United States do to remain the global superpower-and stop alienating the rest of the world? The author of The Paradox of American Power has one clear answer: soft power. Joseph Nye coined the term "soft power" in the late 1980s. It is now used frequently--and often incorrectly--by political leaders, editorial writers, and academics around the world. So what is soft power? Soft power lies in the ability to attract and persuade. Whereas hard power--the ability to coerce--grows out of a country’s military or economic might, soft power arises from the attractiveness of a cou
