Soft power has become a very popular concept in international
affairs, appearing in government policy papers, academic
discussions, and the popular media. In China, soft power has become
one of the most frequently used phrases among political leaders,
leading academics, and journalists. Defined against hard power,
which often involves threat and coercion, soft power applies
attraction, persuasion, and cooperation, finding its sources in
culture, political values, and foreign policies. China, rich in
culture and traditional philosophy, boasts abundant sources of soft
power. Soft Power attempts to analyze the domestic and
international views of China's soft power, the main strengths and
weaknesses of China's soft power, and the application of soft power
in China's international politics. It provides a comprehensive
exploration of the soft power dimension in China's foreign
relations by integrating views from various disciplines, such as
history, education, culture, political economy, comparative
politics, and philosophy. The book argues that soft power has
become a very popular concept in China, that China is contemplating
and exploring an innovative strategy in its rise and international
politics, and that there have been quite a few notable elements of
this in China's diplomatic practice, including softer rhetoric,
promotion of the Chinese culture abroad, economic diplomacy, and
image building. The book also argues that the limitations of
China's soft power primarily stem from political values and China's
own transitions, and reflects the reality that views and opinions
regarding China's soft power are fairly diverse both in China and
in the international arena. Soft power is a useful and important
perspective by which to understand Chinese foreign policy and the
future evolution of China's role in international politics. This
study is a pioneering work, providing a new perspective for the
study of Chinese foreign policy and the rise of China that will
appeal to scholars of Chinese foreign policy
