Everything about Joseph Nye totally explained
Joseph S. Nye, Jr. (born
1937) is the co-founder, along with
Robert Keohane, of the
international relations theory
neoliberalism developed in their
1977 book
Power and Interdependence. Together with Keohane, he developed the concepts of
asymmetrical and
complex interdependence. They also explored transnational relations and world politics in an edited volume in the 1970s. More recently, he pioneered the theory of
soft power.
Nye is currently University Distinguished Service Professor at the
Kennedy School of Government at
Harvard University, and previously served as dean there. He graduated
Summa Cum Laude from
Princeton University and, after studying
PPE as a
Rhodes Scholar at
Exeter College at
Oxford University, obtained his
Ph.D. in
political science from Harvard. He attended Morristown Prep (now the
Morristown-Beard School) in
Morristown,
NJ and graduated in
1954.
Nye originally joined the
Harvard faculty in
1964, serving as Director of the Center for International Affairs and as Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences. From
1977-
1979, Nye was Deputy to the Undersecretary of State for Security Assistance, Science, and Technology and chaired the
National Security Council Group on Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
Nye has published many works in recent years, the most recent of which being
Understanding International Conflicts, 6th ed (2006),
The Power Game: A Washington Novel (2004), (2004), and
The Paradox of American Power (2002). Nye coined the term
soft power in the late 1980s and it first came into widespread usage following a piece he wrote in
Foreign Policy in the early 1990s.
Nye also served as Deputy to the Undersecretary of State in the
Carter Administration,
Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs in the
Clinton Administration, and was considered by many to be the preferred choice for
National Security Advisor in the
2004 presidential campaign of
John Kerry. He is widely recognized as one of the foremost liberal thinkers on foreign policy, and is seen by some as the counter to renowned Harvard conservative
Samuel P. Huntington.
In 2005, Nye was voted one of the ten most influential scholars of international relations in the USA.
