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.

"Far from being another short-lived buzzword, ""globalization"" refers to real changes. These changes have profound impacts on culture, economics, security, the environment—and hence on the fundamental challenges of governance. This book asks three fundamental How are patterns of globalization currently evolving? How do these patterns affect governance? And how might globalism itself be governed? The first section maps the trajectory of globalization in several dimensions—economic, cultural, environmental, and political. For example, Graham Allison speculates about the impact on national and international security, and William C. Clark develops and evaluates the concepts of ""environmental globalization."" The second section examines the impact of globalization on governance within individual nations (including China, struggling countries in the developing world, and the industrialized democracies) and includes Elaine Kamarck's assessment of global trends in public-sector reform. The third section discusses efforts to improvise new approaches to governance, including the role of non-governmental institutions, the global dimensions of information policy, and Dani Rodrik's speculation on global economic governance."

What role does ethics play in American foreign policy? The advent of the Trump Administration has raised this from a theoretical question to front page news. Should ethics even play a role, or should we only focus on defending our material interests? In Do Morals Matter? Joseph S. Nye provides a concise yet penetrating analysis of how modern American presidents have-and have not-incorporated ethics into their foreign policy. Nye examines each presidencyduring the American era after 1945 and scores them on the success they achieved in implementing an ethical foreign policy. Alongside this, he also evaluates their leadership qualities, explaining which approaches work and which ones do not.

For the past eight decades, we have lived in “the American Century” – a period during which the US has enjoyed unrivalled power – be it political, economic or military - on the global stage. Born on the cusp of this new era, Joseph S. Nye Jr. has spent a lifetime illuminating our understanding of the changing contours of America power and world affairs. His many books on the nature of power and political leadership have rightly earned him his reputation as one of the most influential international relations scholars in the world today. In this deeply personal book, Joseph Nye shares his own journey living through the American century. From his early years growing up on a farm in rural New Jersey to his time in the State Department, Pentagon and Intelligence Community during the Carter and Clinton administrations where he witnessed American power up close, shaping policy on key issues such as nuclear proliferation and East Asian security. After 9/11 drew the US into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Nye remained an astute observer and critic of the Bush, Obama and Trump presidencies. Today American primacy may be changing, but he concludes with a faint ray of guarded optimism about the future of his country in a richer but riskier world.

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 country's 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. It forms the core of the Bush administration's new national security strategy. But according to Nye, the neo-conservatives who advise the president are making a major miscalculation: They focus too heavily on using America's military power to force other nations to do our will, and they pay too little heed to our soft power. It is soft power that will help prevent terrorists from recruiting supporters from among the moderate majority. And it is soft power that will help us deal with critical global issues that require multilateral cooperation among states. That is why it is so essential that America better understands and applies our soft power. This book is our guide.
