Medical Diplomacy in Achieving U.S. Global Strategic Objectives
Abstract
Since its introduction by Joseph Nye, Jr., in 1990, soft power has been defined as achieving desirable influence through attraction and cooperation, as opposed to hard power , which rests on inducements or threats. 1 Although the concept of soft power is not universally embraced, 2 using economic, cultural, scientific, and healthcare resources can create a dominant soft power that, when carefully applied, might generate favorable behavior from other nations and their leaders and build enduring partnerships to promote regional and global security.
