This book offers new and cutting-edge analyses of under-explored
subjects and issues in the realm of soft power. It attempts to fill
significant scholarly gaps in understanding the process by which
soft power is created, as well as gaps in demonstrating its impact.
Soft power is one of the most influential ideas in the study of
international politics over the past thirty years. Can nations
attain their most vital foreign policy objectives in agreeable
ways? Advocates of the concept of soft power have vociferously
answered in the affirmative. After many years of thinking in the
field of international affairs that the only effective path to
influence in international politics was military and economic
power, the idea of soft power offers new and exciting possibilities
of gaining such influence through a more benign path, one that
elevates cooperation and esteem as preferred alternatives to
violence, threat and military capacity. This book posits that the
realization of the full potential of soft power as a foundation for
international relations is a crucial goal for our present world,
one beset by war and planetary crises. The book will be of special
interest to researchers across political science, international
relations, cultural studies and foreign policy. It was originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Political Power.
This book is about how the rise of democracy has transformed
economics over the past 150 years. As voting was expanded to the
masses in the late 19th century, political leaders faced emergent
pressures to deliver prosperity to their newly enfranchised
populations. This led to the rise of the guardian state: a state
whose prime directive was to protect economic growth and
employment. Domestic economic goals now became sacrosanct, and if
that meant a failure on the international stage to construct
solutions to problems in monetary relations, so be it. The book
traces the history of international monetary diplomacy during this
long period to show how the guardian state has manifested itself,
and how it has shaped the course of international monetary
relations. Each of the most important international monetary
conferences in history is scrutinized with respect to how nations
sought to protect the prosperity within their national economies.
The historical narratives give a bird's-eye view into how domestic
political priorities have intruded on and shaped economic relations
among nations. The book clearly demonstrates the advantages of an
interdisciplinary understanding of how politics shapes economics.
It will be invaluable reading for scholars and students of
international economics, politics and economic history.
This book deals with the most important developments in the study
of political power over the last four decades. From the writings of
the great Greek philosophers of antiquity to the present, the idea
of power has been the major subject in the study of politics.
Indeed, some would say it defines the very field of politics itself
as a social science. Penned by the leading scholars in the field,
this collection gives a broad overview of the most important issues
in the study of political power, tracing the evolution of scholarly
thinking about them and in doing so revealing crucial innovations
therein. This will be a major contribution in the understanding of
the concepts and practices of how power manifests itself across
social and political contexts. This book will be of great interest
to scholars, students and individuals who wish to understand the
very foundations of social and political life. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Political Power, volume 14, issue 1 (2021).

How can nations optimize their power in the modern world system?
Realist theory has underscored the importance of hard power as the
ultimate path to national strength. In this vision, nations require
the muscle and strategies to compel compliance and achieve their
full power potential. But in fact, changes in world politics have
increasingly encouraged national leaders to complement traditional
power resources with more enlightened strategies oriented around
the use of soft power resources. The resources to compel compliance
have to be increasingly integrated with the resources to cultivate
compliance. Only through this integration of hard and soft power
can nations truly achieve their greatest strength in modern world
politics, and this realization carries important implications for
competing paradigms of international relations. The idea of power
optimization can only be delivered through the integration of the
three leading paradigms of international relations: Realism,
Neoliberalism, and Constructivism.
