Online Event

Book launch and Panel Discussion for “Soft-Power Internationalism: Competing for Cultural Influence in the 21st-Century Global Order”


“Soft Power Internationalism” is a global comparative history of how soft power came to define the interregnum between the celebration of global capitalism in the 1990s and the recent resurgence of nationalism and authoritarianism. The book, edited by Victoria de Grazia and Burcu Baykurt, brings together case studies from the European Union, China, Brazil, Turkey, and the United States, examining the genealogy of soft power in the Euro-Atlantic and its evolution in the hands of other states seeking to counter U.S. hegemony by non-militaristic means.
