Soft power index
The Soft Power Index is a measure of a country's ability to influence others through attraction rather than coercion, focusing on cultural, political, and diplomatic resources. It evaluates factors like culture, education, international relations, and values that nations project globally. A high soft power score indicates effective communication and a positive image that can enhance a country's influence without force. Countries that excel in soft power are often seen as role models, which can lead to stronger alliances and improved global standing.
