Joseph Nye - Soft Power on the Line: U S Influence in a Changing World

The Trump administration’s recent foreign policy decisions—including the pause on foreign aid, the closure of #USAID, and an assertive approach to negotiations—have raised questions about the trajectory of U.S. soft power. In a world where #power is increasingly diffuse and economic and political relationships are fuzzy, what will be the role of #softpower in shaping international norms and achieving diplomatic goals? The cyclical nature of soft power, particularly in contrast to China’s expanding global footprint, underscores the need to contextualize these shifts within broader #geopoliticaltrends. Join us for a discussion with Professor Joseph Nye, University Distinguished Service Professor, Emeritus and former Dean of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and former Chair of the National #Intelligence Council. His latest book, A Life in the American Century, traces the rise and transformation of U.S. power while contemplating the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. A leading thinker on soft power, Professor Nye will put Washington’s recent actions into context, highlighting how they have influenced America’s global standing. As countries navigate evolving trade dynamics and strategic realignments, this conversation will explore whether U.S. soft power can adapt to an increasingly competitive international landscape. --- Upcoming events: https://network2020.org/upcoming-events/ Follow us at: Twitter: @Network2020 LinkedIn: Network 20/20 Facebook: @network2020 Instagram: @network_2020 00:00 Introduction 01:52 Q1: Current moment 02:45 Three dimensions of power 03:53 U.S. soft power mistakes 05:00 Q2: USAID 06:15 Easy target of aid 07:00 Q3: Soft power downsides 07:40 Substitution and dependency 08:53 Q4: Role of American business 09:33 Popular American brands 10:01 Q5: WHO withdrawal & surprises 10:50 Civil society and soft power 12:00 Q6: U.S.-China relationship 12:25 Causes of U.S.-China tensions 15:25 Q7: U.S.-China recommendations 15:30 U.S.-China miscalculations 16:55 Q8: Trump’s Vision 17:35 Trump’s dealmaking 18:55 Q9: Arms control treaties 19:35 New START & allies 22:35 Q10: Trust and soft power 23:15 Europe, NATO, and Trust 25:30 Q11 Sanctions 26:00 Effectiveness of sanctions 27:45 Q&A: Tension at universities 28:05 The Chicago Principle 30:00 Free speech 31:00 Q&A: China’s soft power in Africa 31:30 Confucius Institutes 32:10 Two problems of Chinese soft power 33:50 Q&A: BRI & US recalibration 34:10 Propaganda and Soft Power 35:40 Q&A: USAID Restructured 36:00 Humanitarian assistance 37:35 Q&A: Global public goods 38:00 Two public goods 39:00 WHO & Paris Climate Accords 39:50 Q&A: AI & soft power 41:15 AI discussions and regulations 43:50 Social media 45:30 Q&A: AGI international treaty 45:45 Difficulties of AGI regulation 47:50 Q&A Perception of U.S. soft power 49:45 Q&A Civil society’s impact 50:10 Vietnam War 51:45 Q&A: Policy changes & civil society 52:05 Dangers of closing programs 52:38 Q&A Retreat from globalization 53:00 Different forms of globalization 54:42 Memoir conclusion & optimism
