American national interest was long promoted not just by money and force but by "soft power," that is, democratic ideals, consumerism, and even rock 'n' roll. Kurlantzick (special correspondent, "New Republic") argues that Americans have squandered this advantage and that China will step in to fill our "soft power deficit." After Deng Xiaoping's death in 1997, new and worldly Chinese leaders used the aura of China's economic success and political stability to court Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This "charm offensive" has garnered trade, resources, and respect while America can't understand why the world won't do what it says. An important and accessible book; highly recommended for all medium and larger collections.
