The "Hard" and "Soft" Power of the British Lion: From the History of Colonial Policy
39.99 €
The terms "hard" and "soft power," which emerged in scholarly literature at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, were used to characterize the foreign policy of modern Western powers toward countries they sought to bring under their influence. The use of "hard power" (occupation, military intervention, the establishment of military bases, economic sanctions, etc.), often combined with "soft power" instruments (blackmail, corruption, educational and cultural programs), entered the modern lexicon under the term "smart power."

Similar forms and methods of influence were widely used by colonial powers in previous centuries. A team of authors turned to the history of the British Empire to illustrate the aggressive policies ("hard power") of colonizers, combined with various methods of coercion through "soft power," to subjugate the populations of captured territories in the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa. During the Time of Troubles, the British failed to colonize the Russian state. However, through soft power, they managed to gain significant influence over the country's political elite, among whom Anglomania and Anglophilia had become widespread.
