Joseph Nye
Harvard Professor | Geopolitics & Soft Power
About
Joseph Nye is the former Dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and a leading expert on geopolitics and international relations. As a former U.
S. Assistant Secretary of Defense, he pioneered the concept of 'soft power' - the ability to influence others through attraction rather than coercion.
Nye's insights into how nations acquire and wield power have made him an influential voice on the global stage. His keynotes offer audiences a nuanced, big-picture view of the shifting balance of power in the 21st century.
