Joseph S. Nye

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

The paradox is a problem; Nye has some answers
Although 40 people have reviewed Nye's book thus far, no one has directly quoted Nye's clearest expression on what the PARADOX of American power is. What is the paradox about America's power? The thesis is at the end of the 1st chapter. "The paradox of America power at the end of this millennium is that it is too great to be challenged by any other state, yet not great enough to solve problems ...

Longman, 2006

First Rate, Post 9-11 Update, One of Two Core Works
First, this is a five-star tutorial on international relations that has been most recently updated after 9-11. If I were to recommend only two books on international relations, for any adult including nominally sophisticated world travelers, this would be the first book; the second would be Shultz, Godson, & Quester's wonderful edited work, Security Studies for the 21st Century. I really want ...

Jr.", Joseph S. "Nye

PublicAffairs, 2005

An Excellent Introduction
As a beginning student of international relations, I found this book to be of great assistance. Professor Nye accurately and honestly critiques the Bush Administration's actions on the world stage and the theories behind them. In a social and political milieu that has been dominated by neoconservatism for much of the past six years, it was refreshing to read a different point of view so ardently ...

Jr.", Joseph S. "Nye

Basic Books, 1991

Nye, soft power and new challenges...
Are the theories of decline regarding USA's power correct?. In "Bound to lead", Nye tackles that question, and many more. According to the author, USA is still the main superpower, but it will have to change its strategies if it wants to go on being one, due to the fact that the nature of power has changed. Nye distinguishes two faces of power. The first face is command or "hard power", and with ...

Since the development of the modern state system in Europe four centuries ago, there have been ten general wars involving a majority of the major powers and a high level of casualties. Another major war is difficult to conceive of, since it would presumably be the last such conflict, and yet it is not an impossibility. In this volume a distinguished group of political scientists and historians examine the origins of major wars and discuss the ...

Joseph S. Nye

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Superb Mix of Scholarship & Pragmatism
Anything by Joe Nye stops my work and receives my undivided attention. This is an absolute gem of a book, a mix of world-class scholarship and world-class pragmatism. It goes to the top of my leadership list on Amazon. The book opens with the observation that two thirds of US citizens believe their is a leadership crisis. The intellectual center of the book is its focus on "smart power" ...

Why People Don't Trust Government

Confidence in American government has been declining for three decades. Three-quarters of Americans said they trusted the Federal government to do the right thing in 1964. Today, only a quarter do. Why the decline? Is this mistrust a healthy reflection of America's long-lasting skepticism of a strong state? Is mistrust a problem for the future of governance? Bringing together essays by leading Harvard scholars, this book explores the roots ...

How the world powers, built upon foundations that were suddenly shifting, adapted to this new reality is the subject of After the Cold War. Bringing together the work of seasoned experts and younger ...

Governance in a Globalizing World
Joseph S. Nye, John D. Donahue

These changes have profound impacts on culture, economics, security, the environment-and hence on the fundamental challenges of governance . This book asks three fundamental questions: How are patterns of globalization currently evolving? How do these patterns affect governance? And how might globalism itself be governed? The first section maps the trajectory ...
