The Future of Power | Joseph S. Nye, Jr.

1 post | 1 to read

Power evolves. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, unsurpassed in military strength and ownership of world resources, the United States was indisputably the most powerful nation in the world. But the global information age is rendering these traditional markers of power obsolete. To remain at the pinnacle of world power, the United States must adopt a strategy that considers the impact of the internet on global power resources. The Future of Power examines what it means to be powerful in the twenty-first century and illuminates the road ahead.

The Future of Power | Joseph S. Nye, Jr.

Just read a neswaper article by the acclaimed historian Herfried Münkler who refers back to Joseph Nye's politics of soft power (read Nye!!), and his conclusion is grim: The more successful Trump is, the more America's soft power will dissolve, a process that cannot be reversed. The outcome, says Münkler, will be the end of "the West" that has once been created by the US. The American Century: 1917 (the US enters WWI) - 2017?

Redwritinghood A lot of us see this happening, but the division he has helped create makes it hard to change the course. So frustrating! 6y

MeikeReads @Redwritinghood I have not yet abandoned all hope- I know that the US is so much more than Trump and full of wonderful people. I hope this insanity will end soon! 6y
