America Loses a Great Thinker
The (Soft) Power of Nations
I interviewed Harvard University Kennedy School of Government professor and international relations scholar, Joseph Nye, in July 2021, to discuss the US-Russia Summit that took place in Geneva that Summer.
We also discussed his book, published a year before, required reading for International Relations students, as it addresses the question of moral views of US Presidents, from FDR to Trump, and its impact in foreign policy, and on the importance of having an ethical compass when defending one’s country national interests while articulating cooperation at the international level.
Watch:
PS.: the image is not great, but as usual Nye makes a good point, he did not make that many friends in the Global South back then, he was a product of the time, but his ideas have been tremendously influential, shaping American Foreign Policy for a generation of scholars. For better and for worse.
