| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The 21st century is marked by an increased attention to the appeal and positive image of a country as instruments of influence in the international arena. There has appeared the concept of soft power, whose author, U.S. political scientist Joseph Nye described it as "the ability to get what you want through attraction rather than coercion or payments." A nation's image secures attractiveness and trust in a country, playing a crucial role as the key soft power component. Therefore, the efforts of states along this line relate not so much to the sphere of culture and information as to geopolitics. |
