In contrast to the coercive nature of hard power, soft power describes the use of positive attraction and persuasion to achieve foreign policy objectives. 4:53 Joseph Nye, the originator of the concept, initially set out three primary sources of soft power as he developed the concept. Nye’s three pillars of soft power are: political values, culture, and foreign policy. But within these three categories, the individual sources of soft power are manifold and varied.

@@Gurci28 I don’t know if you’re interested in finding the truth or supporting an idiot like Joseph Nye. But I am interested in finding the truth and thanks to this little chat with you I’ve come to realize there is a secondary power that can come from the method you use and I appreciate that. Thank you

Good question. These are definitely questions that can have a wide range of answers. Check out these two videos from political scientists John Mearsheimer and Joseph Nye that look at China and Asia from different perspectives. It should help you answer your questions!

The greatest soft power that I ever seen was the Korean wave. What entangles me is the Korean historical TV dramas. You're watching a TV program that 150 episodes with nonstop suspense and action and every episode has its movie quality. And the show is not even in English. What can be more powerful thant!
Question: I'm a non native English speaker and I did not know the word "reprecussion", used in the definition of "hard power" at 01:09. Does it actually exist or it is "repercussion" misspelled? Thank you for your video!
Outstanding explanatory videos Mr. Korczysk! Some powerful leaders such as Thai former King Bhumibol during his reign in almost 70 years trying to help Thai people trough his ideas in Agricultures projects around the Kingdom in position of Non-State Power that transform the living style of Thailand nowadays. My doubt is that by influence, leadership and the ability to change people behavior without any role in the State is considered soft power? Thanks
Thanks, I appreciate it! The way I talk about power here is more related to relations between states. While ideas like soft power are also sometimes applied to leaders and their relationship between the people they govern, it can be a bit trickier. If you were to connect it, you would have to determine if the leader wants the people to do something, if there are some outcomes the leader wants to see happen, and if those are achieved through without laws/specific rules that might have rewards or penalties attached to them.
A good example of soft power which I have seen in recent years are Turkish Historical dramas. These dramas have significant following in South Asia, among the Muslim population. This soft power has created a significant support for Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. He actions in middle east often has huge support from the Muslims of South Asia. By using this soft power, Erdoğan has to some extent reduced the influence of Saudi and other Gulf Arabs as leaders of the Islamic world. Erdoğan's actions in diplomacy and military are often compared with lead characters from Turkish Historical dramas who are fighting for justice and truth which originates from core Islamic values.
This was a fantastic video, though i have a question regarding how its practically applied to foreign policy like i get the concept but i am a little confused how it would influence a nation in the Grand schemes of things If anyone could help me understand it would be really appreciated?
Very nice. As of the cultural power. Think of the American tvshow FRIENDS as an example which broadcasted almost all over the world. Let's take the people outside USA who liked it very much (not just watched it once) fell in love and influence them in many ways. This people are more likely to adopt more pro-American political stances in their countries, the way I see it. (That translates into voting for pro American political parties). The same goes with other cultural "products", either tvshows or rock bands or whatever. This is also the core subject in Ukraine I suppose . One actor playing smartly all this years making people adopt pro American stance and the other going medieval, bruttally with hard power.

China has achieved its best ever performance in the Global Soft Power Index, overtaking Japan as the highest-ranked nation in Asia. China has seen its Global Soft Power Index score increase by +9.9 to 64.2, moving it up from 8th to 4th in the overall ranking. Though China’s performance may be a surprise to some in the Western world, it will have been expected across many developing countries. Source: Brand Finance

Global Soft Power Index is a composite index calculated from extensive public opinion surveys and expert assessments, evaluating the soft power of 60 countries, mostly high- and middle-income economies, along seven pillars: business and trade, governance, international relations, cultural and heritage, media and communication, education and science, and people and values. 1:23 Source: SDG Pulse
This is not power. These are methods you can use to get someone to agree. There are three ways to get someone to agree, voluntarily, through trade, and through coercion. Power is the ability to affect change. There is no change if these methods fail.
