Since the first edition of The Routledge Handbook of Soft Power was published, the world has gone through some exceedingly significant events of a historical nature. It has been a challenge for nation states to wield their soft power resources in this turbulent period. Part II, focusing as it does on contemporary issues, is a collection of chapters that explore (1) the role of new technology in the implementation of soft power intentions, (2) the impact of nation states’ performance in responding to the global public health crisis, and (3) the relationship between soft power and values that enrich the value framework of soft power.
