Joseph Nye Bücher

Smart Power – was heißt Macht in unserer Zeit? Die Koordinaten der Macht haben sich seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges dramatisch verschoben: Künftig zählen nicht mehr nur militärische Stärke, sondern auch neue Technologien und der intelligente Umgang mit politischen Interessen und Kulturen. Mit diesem Buch liefert Joseph Nye überraschende Antworten auf wichtige Fragen der Geopolitik und der Mittel, mit denen sich strategische Vorteile erringen lassen. Was bedeutet es, im globalen Informationszeitalter des 21. Jahrhunderts Macht auszuüben? Aus welchen Ressourcen wird sich Macht künftig speisen? Die herkömmliche Auffassung besagt, dass sich derjenige Staat mit der größten Militärgewalt durchsetzt. Im Informationszeitalter könnte es jedoch durchaus sein, dass jene Staaten (oder auch nicht-staatlichen Organisationen) am meisten erreichen, die auf andere, 'weichere' und dabei klügere Strategien setzen. Joseph Nye behandelt Themen, die im Zentrum aktueller weltpolitischer Debatten stehen und die um den von ihm geprägten Begriff der 'Smart Power' kreisen. Seine anschauliche Darstellung hilft, eines der wichtigsten Grundprinzipien der Gegenwart näher zu verstehen, und bietet zugleich wertvolle Einsichten in die Kunst der politischen Strategie.

How presidents forged the American century This book examines the foreign policy decisions of the presidents who presided over the most critical phases of America's rise to world primacy in the twentieth century, and assesses the effectiveness and ethics of their choices. Joseph Nye, who was ranked as one of Foreign Policy magazine’s 100 Top Global Thinkers, reveals how some presidents tried with varying success to forge a new international order while others sought to manage America’s existing position. The book shows how transformational presidents like Wilson and Reagan changed how America sees the world, but argues that transactional presidents like Eisenhower and the elder Bush were sometimes more effective and ethical. It also draws important lessons for today’s uncertain world, in which presidential decision making is more critical than ever.
