Joseph Nye introduced the term "smart power" to refer to the skillful combination of hard power (military and economic might) and soft power (diplomatic and cultural influence) to achieve objectives. Smart power became a core principle of Obama's foreign policy approach. While smart power strategies can optimize national influence and security, instituting them faces obstacles in consistency with human psychology, high cognitive costs of complexity, and challenges operationalizing outcomes over resources for decision-makers. Ultimately, optimal strategies may be even smarter than smart ones.

These slides discuss different kinds of diplomacy old and new. Important features of each kind are briefly discussed.
Balance of power presentation
The document discusses balance of power theory, a realist international relations theory. According to the theory, national security is strengthened when military power is distributed so that no single state can dominate others. If one state becomes stronger, it may attack weaker neighbors, prompting threatened states to form defensive coalitions. When faced with an external threat, states can counter through balancing, bandwagoning, buck-passing, or bloodletting. Balancing involves increasing one's own military capabilities or forming alliances to counter a rising power. Bandwagoning means aligning with the stronger power, while buck-passing passes responsibility for countering the threat to another state. Bloodletting causes rivals to engage in prolonged conflict while remaining neutral.

Power, Capability and instruments of Foreign Policy
This document discusses key concepts related to foreign policy including power, capability, and instruments of foreign policy. It defines foreign policy as a government's strategy for dealing with other nations and outlines its goals of safeguarding national interests. The document also defines power, capability, and instruments commonly used in foreign policy such as diplomacy, military policies, foreign aid, and trade.

THE BALANCE OF POWER THEORY.ppt
The document discusses the balance of power theory in international relations. It defines balance of power as a state or group of states working to counterbalance the power of another state or group of states. During the Cold War, there was a bipolar balance of power system between the US and Soviet Union, with each aligning other states into opposing military alliances. The end of the Cold War led to a brief period of US unipolar dominance. Some argue groups like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS are attempts to reestablish a multipolar balance against US hegemony.

The expert warns that Facebook's business practices sometimes compromise users' privacy for marketing goals.
Power in ir
This document discusses different perspectives on the concept of power in international relations. It begins by defining power as a state's ability to influence or control other states. It then outlines two main traditions for analyzing power: the national power approach, which equates power with material resources, and the relational power approach, which sees power as the ability to influence another's behavior. The document also discusses various theorists' perspectives on power, including Joseph Nye's concepts of hard, soft, and smart power, and rules for analyzing power put forth by William Wohlforth.
Realism (Part 2)
Realism is an international relations theory that focuses on power and security. It has several core assumptions including that states are the main actors, their primary concern is survival in an anarchic system, and they will use whatever means necessary to ensure their security. There are different strands of realism including classical realism which emphasizes human nature and neo-realism which focuses more on the structure of the international system. Realism is criticized for being too state-centric and for justifying amoral actions in the name of survival. Overall, realism provides a lens for understanding international politics based on power dynamics between self-interested states.
Realist theories of global politics
This document provides an overview of realism as a theoretical perspective in international relations and global politics. It discusses two main versions of realism - classical realism and structural realism. Classical realism sees the pursuit of power as an innate human tendency, while structural realism views it as a result of the anarchic nature of the international system.
The document then contrasts offensive and defensive structural realism. Offensive realism believes states should maximize their power and pursue hegemony whenever possible to ensure survival. Defensive realism argues this is strategically foolish and states should seek an "appropriate" amount of power to avoid triggering a balancing response from other states. The document concludes by outlining how offensive and defensive realists
7 foreign policy process (1)
Foreign policy involves a state using political influence to induce other states to exercise their lawmaking power in a way that benefits the influencing state. It aims to protect territorial integrity and citizen interests both within and outside the state. Additionally, foreign policy seeks to maintain international links through policies of conflict or cooperation to promote national interests like security, self-preservation, and economic and political goals. A country's foreign policy is determined by internal factors like geography, culture, economic strength, and political structures as well as external factors like the international power structure, organizations, alliances, and world public opinion.

International Relations Conflict Theories
The document defines conflict as an opposition of needs, values, and interests that can occur internally within a person or externally between two or more individuals, groups, or organizations. Conflict in political terms can refer to wars, revolutions, or other struggles that may involve force. The document goes on to discuss different types of conflict including personal conflict and nation-to-nation conflict. It also summarizes three main theories of international relations: liberal theory which believes human nature is good, realist theory which views the world as chaotic with states focused on survival, and radical theory which sees conflict arising from uneven distribution of resources between the rich and poor.

DIPLOMACY AND FOREIGN POLICY
Diplomacy has been practiced since the formation of early city-states and is a defining element of statehood. Originally, diplomats were only sent for specific negotiations and were of high rank. Modern diplomacy originated in the city-states of northern Italy in the early Renaissance. There are four main functions of diplomacy: representing state interests, gathering information, expanding political/economic/cultural ties, and facilitating international law. Diplomacy is essential for conducting negotiations between nations and maintaining peaceful international relations.
Realism ppt
Realism is a theory of international relations based on the assumption that states act in their own self-interest and pursue power above all else. Key realist scholars include Thucydides, Hobbes, and Morgenthau. Realism sees world politics as an anarchic struggle for power between self-interested states. It assumes human nature is imperfect and states will do what is necessary to achieve their interests and security. There are different types of realism that focus on factors like human nature, the absence of global governance, and domestic variables that influence foreign policy. Core concepts of realism include self-help, relative gains, national interest, security dilemmas, and balance of power.
Political Economy
This document discusses the relationship between political and economic factors. It defines political economy as the grafting of politics and economics, and notes they are mutually dependent. It explores how governments can use political power to influence economic resources at domestic and international levels. It also outlines three major ideologies in political economy: liberalism, nationalism, and Marxism. The document examines different structures that comprise the global political economy, such as production, security, financial, and knowledge structures. It analyzes how political events like the OPEC oil crisis influenced economics. Multinational corporations and regional economic organizations are also discussed in relation to world political economy.
DIPLOMACY
The document discusses the concepts of diplomacy and world politics from both macro and micro perspectives. From a macro view, diplomacy refers to the fundamental process of communication between political entities that helps create stability in the global system by resolving conflicts through dialogue and negotiation. From a micro view, diplomacy provides insights into how international actors like states behave in the system and can be used as an instrument to achieve their foreign policy goals through direct negotiations or other methods. The document then outlines some key features of traditional diplomacy, including its state-based structure with permanent embassies, bilateral and secretive processes, and narrow agenda focused on issues of war, peace and personal monarchical ambitions.

The document discusses South Korea's use of soft power through cultural exports like K-pop and TV dramas known as the Korean Wave. It analyzes how the Korean government and corporations strategically promote Korean culture globally to improve the country's image and reputation internationally. The cultural products attract foreign tourists, students, and help brand Korea as modern and innovative. While boosting economic and cultural influence abroad, the policies also aim to establish South Korea as an influential middle power on the international stage through cultural diplomacy and soft power.

This document discusses different aspects of power in international relations. It defines state power and sovereignty, and lists natural and tangible/intangible sources of state power. It then discusses different models of how power is distributed internationally, including unipolarity, bipolarity, tripolarity, and multipolarity systems. It also addresses concepts like hegemonic power, great/middle/small powers, anarchy in the international system, and the balance of power. Finally, it discusses the security dilemma and questions whether states have lost power to other actors in today's increasingly interdependent world.
Group Epistemology and Irregular Warfare (the chickens come home to roost)

China has been pursuing its national interests through economic and soft power engagement with emerging countries in a non-aggressive manner. China uses soft power tools like investment, exchange programs, public diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and contributions to multilateral institutions to increase its influence abroad. While China has made progress in utilizing soft power, it still faces limitations and lags behind the United States in some areas like foreign direct investment and foreign aid. China's soft power growth is often exaggerated and it still lacks a coordinated national soft power strategy.
soft and hard power
1) The document discusses the concepts of hard power and soft power in international relations. Hard power refers to military and economic coercion, while soft power involves diplomacy and cultural influence to gain consent without imposition.
2) It provides examples of the limitations of hard power, like the US facing challenges in Vietnam and Iraq, despite overwhelming military strength. Overreliance on hard power can reduce a nation's influence and breed opposition.
3) Soft power involves cooperation and appealing to other nations through cultural and ideological attraction rather than threats. The US emerged as a global hegemon after WWII by employing soft power through initiatives like the Marshall Plan to counter Soviet influence and promote democracy and American values abroad.

SLIDE 1
This week we’re going to do some collective thinking about the future of U.S. Power.
SLIDE 2
In the next slide there is a graphic that illustrates the proliferation of academic and think-tank literature that argues that U.S. Power and influence around the world is shrinking dramatically.
SLIDE 3
The next slide continues that symbolism, some arguing that we are becoming just another graveyard of fallen empires. But I think, to be more optimistic in the next slide, some are writing our obituaries a bit prematurely. I like this definition of what a superpower is and what it requires or what it takes to be a super power. And I think if you kind of cogitate on that a little bit, study it a little bit, after the lecture, I think you’ll agree this applies to the United States and no other country in the world at the present time.
That last bullet indicates some hesitation, a big “but”, there are other variables. I think the problem is a paradox of power. Power today no longer translates into an immediate ability to influence, and the reason for that, many argue, is that historically emerging multi-polar systems are much more unstable than a bipolar or unipolar world might be. There is an emerging multipolar system which I think we face today. Greater diversity, growing power, and less cohesiveness. Emerging countries want a greater share, a greater say, and they reject the notion that any single power has the ability to be a global hegemony. In a very colorful language of a French diplomat, he argued this case by saying we need allies but not chaperones or adult supervision.
SLIDE 4
The next slide is based on an article written several years ago by Barry Posen and Andrew Ross called “Competing Images of Global Strategy”. I want to go through these as an exercise in strategic thinking. There are really no right or wrong answers for our purposes and our goal is to get each of you to pull together some of our previous course tools and apply them to some good strategic thinking. And these are the strategic postures that we’ll look at: Neo Isolationism, Selective 2
Engagement, Cooperative Security, Primacy, and then I’ll add off-shore balancing which doesn’t come from Posen and Ross but from another article that I will talk about and you will be reading.

The next slide then looks at the posture of neo-isolationism. Their argument is that we simply can’t afford the cost of World Order, they take a very minimalist defense posture, low defense budgets based upon what you see there. They argue that geography makes us secure from peer threats. There is little public support for this posture. Libertarians hold this and if you’ve been paying attention or did pay attention to the republican primary you know that Ron Paul represented this point of view. Commentator Pat Buchannan would be another one who represents this particular point of view. Of course I think their real argument or to critique it, you would have to really analyze th.

This document provides an overview of key concepts from a Political Science course, including summaries of lectures on international relations theory, rational choice theory, power theory, transparency, elitism, pluralism, and propaganda. It defines political science and its relationship to sociology, noting that political scientists favor pluralism over elitism. International relations seeks to understand and prevent conflict through power management. Rational choice holds that individuals act in their self-interest based on survival. Power theory examines how power derives from resources and compliance. Transparency involves disclosing policy intentions. Elitism and pluralism offer competing views of how society and policymaking are structured.
The ROI of Human Centricity
Defining "human centric" should find a basis in how people experience their efforts to "be and do" , but moreso, why they do. With that, we can see the way to understand the outcomes of investments primarily in human terms.

POWER.pptx
Power is a key concept in realist theory. Realism sees the international system as anarchic and states as primarily concerned with their own security and survival. Power is defined both theoretically as a state's ability to influence others, and empirically based on tangible factors like military and economic strength. Anarchy means there is no overarching authority and each state is responsible for its own security. States act to maintain a balance of power to prevent any single state from dominating. Alliances are formed to balance growing powers. Hard power uses coercion and force while soft power uses appeal and norms, and smart power strategically combines both. Power can be distributed unipolarly, bipolarly, or multipolarly in the international system.
Rise of right cip final
This document proposes a framework for understanding the rise of populism based on value systems theory. It argues that anxiety from catastrophic events and economic crises can push people to adopt more extreme value systems focused on protectionism and autonomy. The document outlines eight value systems and how external conditions and internal adaptive systems interact to shape which systems emerge. It suggests populism emerges from a breakdown in higher-order value systems during periods of instability and uncertainty.
