| Abstract |
"Despite the attractiveness of the idea, U.S. soft power is an unreliable source of influence in world politics. This book examines the lack of U.S. soft power influence, finding that target countries do not consider the attractiveness of the United States when deciding to participate in military interventions abroad"-- Provided by publisher. |
