The CSIS Commission on Smart Power was quoted by a column in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "Business Forum: Economic Power can Help Calm Conflicts."
The federal government seems to be on hold these days as it waits for the new occupant of the White House. Regardless of who wins in November, it will be the American people, as always, who will bear the brunt of the decisions.
Smart power: A relatively new term being used by the Center for Strategic and International Studies to describe how a nation wisely can use hard and soft power. It assumes that, because the world is being affected dramatically by global interdependence, its problems cannot be solved by hard power or soft power independently. The two must be integrated to work effectively with those countries that have similar interests and values.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a private, tax-exempt institution focusing on international public policy issues. Its research is nonpartisan and nonproprietary. CSIS does not take specific policy positions; accordingly, all views, positions, and conclusions expressed in these publications should be understood to be solely those of the authors.
