For those researching international relations, political science, development and governance studies, the volume offers useful information and insights.” (Saleh Shahriar, Chinese Political Science Review, Vol. 7 (4), 2022)

“The book is a good starting point for anyone who is interested in studying soft power and its application in the empirical reality of IR. The book succeeds in bringing a more structured approach to the concept of soft power and summarizes well the debate to date.” (Hanna T. Tuominen, The Hague Journal of Diplomacy, Vol. 17, 2022)
