Over the last decade, expensive and unpopular wars, recession,
ballooning debt, and the rise of China and other regional powers
have brought the limits of traditional power into focus. So far, "
Smart Power "has been seen as the idea that an effective foreign
policy must place principal reliance on a tailored synthesis of
both hard and soft power and the precise mix depends on the
circumstances.
This timely volume underscores why "smart power" is still a clue
for policymakers seeking to combine different tools within a
coherent strategy. It also questions the practical and
institutional challenges stand in the way of a true smart power
approach. It underscores the need for the United States and Europe
to pull all the levers of power and influence, including military,
diplomatic, legal, cultural, energetic and technological. The
authors introduce new approaches including the concept of spectral
power, super-seeding the dichotomy of hard and soft power and
urging the rethinking of the concept of smart power. The authors
have held senior executive positions in the U.S. administration and
governments in Europe.
