RSA Keynote
How is power changing in the 21st century? How do the financial crisis, global epidemics and climate change affect an increasingly interconnected world? How can empowering others help us to accomplish our own goals? What are the resources that confer power in the global information age?
Joseph S. Nye, Jr, one of America's leading policy intellectuals, and originator of the term ‘soft power’, visits the RSA to look at what has happened to American power from the time of Kennedy and Khrushchev through to the present day.
Politics has changed, and nuclear missiles, industrial capacity, men under arms, rows of tanks and having power over others has given way to ‘smart power’ involving networks, connectedness, and power with others.
