Joseph Nye on the Future of Power

From March 14–June 30, 2011:
50% of all admission sales will go to Japan Society’s Earthquake Relief Fund.

How is power changing in the 21st century? One of America’s leading foreign policy intellectuals analyzes its evolution in the global information age. Joseph S. Nye Jr., University Distinguished Service Professor and former Dean of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, discusses his new book The Future of Power. In it, he outlines the major shifts of this century: new transnational challenges such as the financial crisis, global epidemics, and climate change facing an increasingly interconnected world; a changing global political and economic landscape, including the rise of China and India; and the increasing influence of non-state actors.
