Moving from West to East, the book tells the story of soft power by exploring the varied ways in which it operates – from an American sheriff in Poland to an English garden in Ravello, a French vineyard in Australia, an Asian restaurant in Spain, a Chinese Football stadium in Africa; the fact that over fifty modern heads of state were educated in Britain; the student exchange that took a teenage Deng Xiaoping to a small town on the Loire; the way that Japan could seduce the world wih chic food and smart computer games.
With Soft power’s quiet ingredients – education, science, trade, cultural values – and a new emphasis on shared mutual interest, it may be the only force supple enough to tackle the challenges the future looks like they pose – not least the slam-the-door reflexes pulling in the other direction.
