Joseph Nye Reihenfolge der Bücher

For the past eight decades, we have lived in “the American Century” – a period during which the US has enjoyed unrivalled power – be it political, economic or military - on the global stage. Born on the cusp of this new era, Joseph S. Nye Jr. has spent a lifetime illuminating our understanding of the changing contours of America power and world affairs. His many books on the nature of power and political leadership have rightly earned him his reputation as one of the most influential international relations scholars in the world today. In this deeply personal book, Joseph Nye shares his own journey living through the American century. From his early years growing up on a farm in rural New Jersey to his time in the State Department, Pentagon and Intelligence Community during the Carter and Clinton administrations where he witnessed American power up close, shaping policy on key issues such as nuclear proliferation and East Asian security. After 9/11 drew the US into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Nye remained an astute observer and critic of the Bush, Obama and Trump presidencies. Today American primacy may be changing, but he concludes with a faint ray of guarded optimism about the future of his country in a richer but riskier world.

Exploring the nature of power and international relations, this collection features essays from Joseph S. Nye, Jr. over three decades. It delves into the role of the United States on the global stage and the dynamics of US-China relations. The essays emphasize that while competition among great powers is likely, there are opportunities for cooperation to tackle transnational challenges, offering a nuanced perspective on today's complex global landscape.

What role does ethics play in American foreign policy? The advent of the Trump Administration has raised this from a theoretical question to front page news. Should ethics even play a role, or should we only focus on defending our material interests? In Do Morals Matter? Joseph S. Nye provides a concise yet penetrating analysis of how modern American presidents have-and have not-incorporated ethics into their foreign policy. Nye examines each presidencyduring the American era after 1945 and scores them on the success they achieved in implementing an ethical foreign policy. Alongside this, he also evaluates their leadership qualities, explaining which approaches work and which ones do not.

For more than a century, the United States has been the world s most powerful state. Now some analysts predict that China will soon take its place.

Smart Power – was heißt Macht in unserer Zeit? Die Koordinaten der Macht haben sich seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges dramatisch verschoben: Künftig zählen nicht mehr nur militärische Stärke, sondern auch neue Technologien und der intelligente Umgang mit politischen Interessen und Kulturen. Mit diesem Buch liefert Joseph Nye überraschende Antworten auf wichtige Fragen der Geopolitik und der Mittel, mit denen sich strategische Vorteile erringen lassen. Was bedeutet es, im globalen Informationszeitalter des 21. Jahrhunderts Macht auszuüben? Aus welchen Ressourcen wird sich Macht künftig speisen? Die herkömmliche Auffassung besagt, dass sich derjenige Staat mit der größten Militärgewalt durchsetzt. Im Informationszeitalter könnte es jedoch durchaus sein, dass jene Staaten (oder auch nicht-staatlichen Organisationen) am meisten erreichen, die auf andere, 'weichere' und dabei klügere Strategien setzen. Joseph Nye behandelt Themen, die im Zentrum aktueller weltpolitischer Debatten stehen und die um den von ihm geprägten Begriff der 'Smart Power' kreisen. Seine anschauliche Darstellung hilft, eines der wichtigsten Grundprinzipien der Gegenwart näher zu verstehen, und bietet zugleich wertvolle Einsichten in die Kunst der politischen Strategie.

One of America's leading policy intellectuals, who coined the term soft power, looks at what has happened to American power from the time of Kennedy in the 60's through the present day. In the era of Kennedy and Khrushchev, power in the US was expressed in terms of nuclear missiles, industrial Capacity, numbers of men under arms, and tanks lined up ready to cross the plains of Eastern Europe. By 2010, none of these factors confer power in the same way: industrial capacity seems an almost a Victorian virtue, and cyber threats are wielded by non-state actors. Politics changed, and the nature of power - defined as the ability to affect others to obtain the outcomes you want - had changed dramatically. Power is not static, its story is of shifts and innovation, technologies and relationships. Josephy Nye is a long-term analyst of power and a hands-on practitioner in government. Many of his ideas have been at the heart of recent debates over the role America should play in the world: his concept of 'soft power' has been adopted by leaders from Britain to China: 'smart power' has been adopted as the bumper-sticker for the Obama Administration's foreign policy. This book is the summary of his work, as relevant to general readers as to foreign policy specialists. It is a vivid narrative that delves behind the elusive faces of power to discover its enduring nature in the cyber age.

What qualities make a leader succeed in business or politics? In an era when the information revolution has dramatically changed the playing field, when old organizational hierarchies have given way to fluid networks of contacts, and when mistrust of leaders is on the rise, our ideas about leadership are clearly due for redefinition. With The Powers to Lead, Joseph S. Nye, Jr. offers a sweeping look at the nature of leadership in today's world, in an illuminating blend of history, business case studies, psychological research, and more. As he observes, many now believe that the more authoritarian and coercive forms of leadership--the hard power approaches of earlier military-industrial eras--have been largely supplanted in postindustrial societies by soft power approaches that seek to attract, inspire, and persuade rather than dictate. Nye argues, however, that the most effective leaders are actually those who combine hard and soft power skills in proportions that vary with different situations. He calls this smart power. Drawing examples from the careers of leaders as disparate as Gandhi, Franklin D, Roosevelt, Lee Iacocca, and George W. Bush, Nye uses the concept of smart power to shed light on such topics as leadership types and skills, the needs and demands of followers, and the nature of good and bad leadership in terms of both ethics and effectiveness. In one particularly instructive chapter, he looks in depth at contextual intelligence--the ability to understand changing environments, capitalize on trends, and use the flow of events to implement strategies. Thoroughly grounded in the real world, rich in both analysis and anecdote, The Powers to Lead is sure to become a modern classic, a concise and lucid work applicable to every field, from small businesses to nations on the world stage
