SOFT POWER


Soft Power is actually a term of politics. Strong states, despite the fact that they are capable of pursuing their interests by force, may choose to avoid war – because the game’s not worth the candle – and choose to ‘’show their teeth but not bite’’, use ‘’Soft Power’’; and they achieve their goals…

Why should not this concept of politics be applicable to business live, personal life or social relations, used to make them stronger and better? Çağlar Çabuk, the author of the book Soft Power, deals with this concept with practical examples from daily life.
