Daniel F. Runde: Using Soft Power to Compete with Russia and China

What should our global strategy look like in an age of renewed great power competition? And what must America offer to a newly empowered developing world when we’re no longer the only major player?

The Moynihan Institute’s Practice of Global Politics Series presents international development expert Daniel F. Runde.

Runde will discuss his new book, “The American Imperative,” where he makes the case for building a new global consensus through vigorous internationalism and the judicious use of soft power. Runde maps out many of the steps that we need to take—primarily in the non-military sphere—to ensure an alliance of stable and secure, like-minded, self-reliant partner nations in order to prevent rising authoritarian powers such as China from running the world.
