• Contributions originally published The Washington Quarterly discuss four aspects of soft power. First examines the most effective ways to build stable nations in unstable regions, focusing on Afghanistan & Sierra Leone. Secondly, explores postconflict reconstruction, including security, justice & reconciliation, opportunities for achieving socioeconomic well-being, & increased participation in government. Thirdly, examines public diplomacy, asking whether the US needs new policies or a new image to increase its appeal in the Arab & Muslim world. Finally, looks at foreign assistance & assesses the potential of the current administration's "Millennium Challenge Account" to combat poverty, increase democracy, & reduce the appeal of terror.
