TESTIMONY OF JOSEPH NYE

Nye has served his country in the Defense Department as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs; he's served in the Intelligence Community as Chairman of the National Intelligence Council, in fact, that was his most recent position in the government; and in an earlier administration he was Deputy Under Secretary of State.
NYE: But then if you ask what, then, is the unique contribution of intelligence on estimative intelligence, it's the fact that the policymaker just doesn't have the time to read those academic articles, or even to read the economist in the Financial Times in a timely way.
NYE: I looked at this proliferation issue from both sides of the table, both inside intelligence and as a consumer when I was in Defense, and earlier than that, in State.

 Joseph Nye
Joseph Nye articulates the connection as the “use of [“hard power”] requires an elaborate moral justification to ensure popular support, unless actual survival is at stake” (Soft Power 19).
Nye described the phenomenon using a parenting metaphor; “Parents of teenagers know that if they have structured their children’s beliefs and preferences, their [the parents] power will be greater and will last longer than if they [the parents] had relied only on active control [beatings or groundings]” (“The Changing Nature” 181).
Nye never explicitly detailed the morality within any of these facets of his brainchild, “soft power.” It was not until his later work, and only rarely then, that he specifically connected “soft power” with morality.

 Review of The Paradox of American Power, by Joseph Nye
Nye said the United States today wields two kinds of power, both of which are critical to America's predominance on the world stage.
Nye wrote the book as a follow-up to his 1990 book, "Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power." In "Bound to Lead," Nye said he sought to puncture what was then a popular view that American power was in decline.
Nye's suggestions center, ultimately, on a careful balancing of U.S. interests in both the short and long term, on the needs of the international community and on an awareness that neither the scourge of international terrorism nor the inevitability of global warming is going to go away through the actions of the United States alone.
