This book comparatively assesses the China and India’s soft power strategy in Iran. By employing Joseph S. Nye’s “Soft Power” theory and forming the new concept of “Power of Bonding”, this book formulated China and India’s soft power narratives and applied it through the empirical analysis in Iran. Based on this theory, this book seeks explanations for the question of “How China and India respectively, strategically and comparatively use the soft power strategy in Iran?”. To reach the find-out, this book compares the understanding, resources, strategies, influences and uses of China and India’s soft power in Iran under three thematic areas, including “power of bonding through cultural attractions, and attributions”; ‎“political and diplomatic engagement” and “economic partnerships”. By analysing China and India’s soft power strategy in Iran, this book ‎seeks to contribute to the soft power literature through a theoretical replication based ‎on non-Western soft power strategy, the concept and its empirical application in China and India.

Lastly, the findings of this study indicate that Irans approach to soft power is strategically calculated. Iran makes explicit use of soft power that is different from the original notion of soft power as it was formulated by Nye. Irans actions show that sources of attraction

This book offers a distinctive approach to understanding Anglo-American relations with Iran in the early Cold War. It establishes how the United Kingdom and United States used soft power between 1953 and 1960 to combat communism and promote their respective ways of life in Iran. It identifies their motives, the types of initiatives employed, and the extent to which they perceived their policies to be a success. It is a historical case study through which wider conclusions regarding UK and US foreign policy can be drawn. As well as illustrating the competitive tensions within the Anglo-American 'special relationship', it highlights the role of individuals in the making and shaping of diplomatic endeavours. More broadly, the analysis of UK and US interactions in Iran through the prism of soft power underlines that there was more to both countries’ Cold War foreign policies than the containment of communism.

This book analyses China’s multidimensional rise in the context of the international political economy, drawing on Susan Strange’s concept of "structural power." Examining the sources of Chinese power along with its geopolitical, economic, and cultural reflections, the authors consider how China’s rise is linked with the incremental process of multipolarization in world politics. Providing a systematic, analytical, and empirically rich account of China's surge in the international political economy, this study will appeal to scholars, policy-makers, and students with interests in China studies, international political economy, and international relations.

This book explores the phenomenon of soft power in international relations. In the context of current discourses on power and global power shift s, it puts forward a comprehensive taxonomy of soft power and outlines a methodological roadmap for its empirical study. To that end, the book classifies soft power into distinct components - resources, instruments, reception, and outcomes - and identifies relevant indicators for each of these categories. Moreover, the book integrates previously neglected aspects into the concept of soft power, including the significance of (political) personalities. A broad range of historical examples is drawn upon to illustrate the effects of soft power in international relations in an innovative and analytically differentiated way. A central methodological contribution of this book consists in highlighting the value of comparative-historical analysis (CHA) as a promising approach for empirical analyses of the soft power of different actors on the international stage. By introducing a comprehensive taxonomy of soft power, the book offers an innovative and substantiated perspective on a pivotal phenomenon in today’s international relations. As the forces of attraction in world politics continue to gain in importance, it provides a valuable asset for a broad readership. This book was the winner of the 2021 ifa (German Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations) Research Award on Foreign Cultural Policy. “In this important and thoughtful book, Hendrik Ohnesorge explains and advances our knowledge of the ways that soft power, public diplomacy, and charismatic personal diplomacy are shaping the international relations of our global information age.” Joseph S.

This study investigates the role of 'public diplomacy' as an instrument of soft power in the Islamic Republic of Iran's foreign policy in pursuit of its interests. It focuses on three public diplomacy institutions of Iran: al-Mustafa International University (MIU), Ahl-ul-bayt World Assembly (ABWA), and Imam Khomeini Relief Committee (IKRC). Adopting 'relational public diplomacy' approach, the research specifically focuses on building relations with elites, authorities, academics, and common people in Afghanistan and Malaysia through these public diplomacy institutions. The data have been collected from official documents and publications of these organizations, textual analysis of the statements of shia religious authorities and the Iranian leaders, particularly the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, late Ayatollah Khomeini, and his successor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and fieldwork such as purposive interview. The research among others found that Iran is an 'ideological sectarian state' promoting shia version of Islamic values in different parts of the world including Malaysia and Afghanistan. These values are originating from the core shia principle of imamate. The nature of the public diplomacy activities of Iran in Malaysian and Afghanistan suggests that Iran's foreign policy promotes the late Ayatollah Khomeini's doctrine of 'exporting revolution'. Evidences from Malaysian and Afghanistan reveal that Iran through its public diplomacy has been able to find supporters and sympathizers in the Muslim world who have developed close affinity with Iran. This Study recommends that the Muslim countries including Malaysia and Afghanistan need a comprehensive action plan to secure their societies from a sectarian tension resulting from the Islamic Republic of Iran's sectarian oriented public diplomacy.
