The Soft Power 30

The Soft Power 30 ranks countries based on their ability to influence others through culture, values, and policies instead of military or economic strength. It considers factors like cultural exports (film, music), diplomatic presence, education, and global reputation. Essentially, it measures how countries attract and shape international opinions and relationships through persuasion and appeal. This helps understand how nations can influence global affairs without using force, fostering collaboration and mutual understanding.
