Looking critically and carefully at the concept soft power, this book pulls together the views of leading scholars to show the ways in which China can--and cannot--exercise soft power as it rises in Asia and the world. This is a really smart take on a complicated topic. Highly recommended. -- Fewsmith, Joseph Soft Power takes on one of the most important questions of this century: What is China's rightful place in the international system?
