1. The term "soft power" is Joseph S. Nye's. See his "Soft Power", Foreign Policy
80 (Fall 1990), 153-171; and his Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American
Power ( New York: Basic Books, 1990).
2. A strong case for this thesis has been made by Theodore Draper, A Very Thin
Line: The Iran-Contra Affairs ( New York: Hill & Wang, 1991). See also Louis Henkin
, Constitutionalism, Democracy, and Foreign Affairs ( New York: Columbia
University Press, 1991).
3. This is the concept put forward by James MacGregor Burns in his thoughtful
and provocative book Leadership ( New York: Harper & Row, 1978).
