Joseph Nye (1937–2025)
Professor Joseph Nye passed away at the exact time when the concept of soft power, which he coined not so far back in 1990, is going through the greatest trials and challenges since its inception. Nye physically left this world on May 6, just when America most needed his insightful, calm, and comprehensive view of increasingly chaotic and competitive interstate relations and the role this still-only remaining superpower should play in them.
