Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Soft power involves getting others to want what you want, influencing them through cultural appeal, attraction and persuasion rather than coercive measures. Creating flexible agreements to solve common problems and seizing control of the agenda at international conferences are more specific tactics that may be used to implement a soft power strategy, but they are not the definition of soft power itself. Controlling other states without the use of military force is not an appropriate or ethical use of soft power.
