约瑟夫·奈软实力研究的最新发展

New Development of Joseph S. Nye′s Study of Soft Power

软实力理论的奠基人约瑟夫·奈认为:尽管美国政治制度和美国全球领导力遭到了广泛质疑,美国软实力的衰落被夸大了。预测中国超过美国属于单向度思维,但世界力量是多向度的。虽然俄罗斯拥有极具吸引力的传统文化,但反自由主义和俄罗斯民族主义意识形态不是软实力的好源泉。在可预见的未来美国仍将保持其全球最强的地位。不过,有充分的理由怀疑美国是否有能力维持其"超级大国"地位,因为主要新兴经济体正在崛起。

Although the health of America＇s political institutions and the future of its global leadership had been widely questioned, Joseph S. Nye, who created the term ＂soft power＂, argued that the decline of America＇s soft power is actually overrated. Projections of China surpassing the United States belong to one-dimensional thinking while the world power is multi-dimensional. Despite the attractiveness of traditional Russian culture, an ideology of anti-liberalism and Russian nationalism is a poor source of soft power. America is still likely to retain its position as the world＇s strongest power for the foreseeable future. But there is legitimate reason to doubt America＇s ability to maintain its ＂hyperpower status＂, because of the rise of major emerging economies.
