Items related to The Future of Power: And Use in the Twenty-first Century
Synopsis
In the era of Kennedy and Khrushchev, power in the US was expressed in terms of nuclear missiles, industrial capacity, and tanks lined up ready to cross the plains of Eastern Europe. By 2010, none of these factors confer power in the same way. This title looks at what has happened to American power from the time of Kennedy in the 60's onwards.

Review
"(E)xcellent...Nye offers an illuminating distillation of the power relationships shaping a world in which the state with the best military can lose to the adversary with the better story."
--The Financial Times
"As power moves from west to east and from the palaces of dictators to the street, it is not just the identities of power brokers that are changing: so is the very meaning of power. No one is better placed to explain these trends than the scholar-statesman Joe Nye... The Future of Power contains important essays on both `cyber power' and `American decline', but what is most useful is Nye's subtle exegesis of the mechanics of more conventional forms of power."
--The New Statesman
"The Future of Power is a concise, forceful statement of what Nye refers to as the liberal realist position in the US academy and in US politics... (which) paints a plausible scenario for the continuance of the US at the heart of the international system."
--The Times Higher Education Supplement
"Nye has a lot of interesting points to make against conventional wisdom in matters geopolitical and cultural..."
--Guardian
