Military Soft Power - Public Diplomacy Through Military Educational Exchanges

Informationen zum Autor By Carol Atkinson Klappentext The military has long been associated with hard power, yet it is engaged in public diplomacy as it represents the United States abroad and facilitates the diffusion of ideas. Military Soft Power examines one such aspect of U.S. public diplomacy: how the United States extends its influence or "soft power" worldwide through military educational exchange programs hosted by the United States' elite military schools, its war and staff colleges.
