Podcasts about Soft power

Es gibt kaum ein Thema, das gerade so kontrovers diskutiert wird wie Labubu. Die einen lieben die kleinen Figuren und hängen sie sich an ihre Louis-Vuitton-Tasche. Die anderen hassen sie. Auf TikTok kursieren sogar Videos, in denen sie zerschnitten werden. Die große Frage: Ist Labubu wirklich Popkultur oder eher ein soziales Experiment, das zeigt, wie stark uns geschicktes Marketing beeinflussen kann?Unser heutiger Gast ist Chris Reitermann. Er ist CEO von Ogilvy und Präsident von WPP China und bereits zum dritten Mal bei uns im Podcast. Wir sprechen mit ihm über den globalen Hype um Pop Mart, künstliche Verknappung als Geschäftsmodell und die Frage, ob chinesische IPs wie Labubu Teil einer neuen kulturellen Softpower sind. Außerdem geht es um die wichtigsten Entwicklungen aus der Werbewelt. Chris berichtet, wie AI, Creator-Economy und Micro-Communities das Marketing in China gerade grundlegend verändern. Er erklärt, wie Plattformen wie TikTok neue Zielgruppen erschließen, warum Amazon in Europa angreifbar wird und welche Rolle AI-Plattformen wie WPP Open in Zukunft spielen.asiabits hier abonnieren: asiabits.comDamians Team kontaktieren: www.genuine-asia.comGast: Chris ReitermannModeratoren & Hosts: Damian Maib & Thomas DerksenSchnitt & Produktion: Eva TrotnoSend us a text

In this episode, Alex talks about how Donald Trump seems to be a soccer fan and why the 2026 FIFA World Cup is a useful smokescreen for Trumpism. Trump seems to see hosting the World Cup as a weapon of soft power. Alex also talks about FIFA, anger in Europe, and why its president is buddying up to authoritarian leaders.

A new generation of scholars is reshaping China-Africa research. More geographically diverse and digitally fluent than the field's early pioneers of the 2000s, this cohort brings fresh perspectives and tools to the study of China's engagement on the continent. Yet deep structural barriers persist. African and Chinese researchers still face sizable obstacles in shaping research agendas, as U.S. and European institutions continue to dominate decisions about what gets studied, who receives funding, and which voices are amplified. Solange Guo Chatelard, a research associate at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the new executive director of the Chinese in Africa/Africans in China research network, joins Eric & Cobus to discuss the current state of China-Africa scholarship and where it's going.

This week, Tom and Dylan unpack the concept of soft power—how goodwill, credibility, and trust shape influence. They reflect on the original vision behind tasty: offer free, fact-based research to build trust and earn loyalty—an approach that mirrors how nations gain global standing. From students choosing to study in America to consumers buying U.S. goods, soft power has long been a quiet force behind leadership on the world stage. But are we losing our edge? Tom and Dylan explore where the U.S. might be getting it wrong—and what's at stake when influence starts to fade.

Our 47th episode welcomes dynamic duo Melissa Sáenz Gordon & Molly Salas of Soft Power Vote: a civic engagement resource that leverages digital, print, and live formats to encourage New Yorkers—and especially millennials and Gen Z—to vote! While just a few days away from the Democratic mayoral primary election in NYC, we're honored to share the perspectives of two people who have been extremely busy engaging us, and so many of our peers, with crucial information and tools around the urgency of participating in local political infrastructures. This conversation unpacks what brought each of them to this work, some of the eccentricities of election policies and logistics in NYC, and, most importantly, the complexities of navigating the inevitable cynicism of a world in turmoil to act on the belief that we can and must each contribute to shaping and caring for the city we hold so dear.

We take a thorough look at the nature of soft power, how it can be used, and whether or not a country truly needs it to explore China's soft power deficit and what can be done to fix it. While China does have SOME soft power, arguably its lack of the charm of its neighbours and rivals means its culture and ideology is often met with suspicion or outright rejection. This can lead to difficulties when interacting on the global stage, for example when it comes to pandemic management, border relations, or the promotion of language and culture. Do small wins like the success of the video game Black myth: Wukong present a way out for China's cultural tzars? Or is the hand of the state just too heavy to allow the organic spread of a rich cultural heritage that has the potential to bring China into a new era of prestige and attractiveness?Chapters (00:00) Introduction - South Korea's soft power boom(04:50) What is soft power?(17:22) How soft power can be used and the failure of Confucius Institutes(26:52) Does China need or want soft power?(41:25) Consequences of China's lack of soft power(47:50) Missed soft power opportunities(52:45) Black Myth: Wukong and a potential new era of Chinese soft powerSupport the showSign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod

Im Mai jährte sich der Militärputsch in Mali zum vierten Mal. Seit die ehemalige Kolonialmacht Frankreich abgezogen ist und auch die Bundeswehr 2023 den Einsatz beendete, haben wir kaum Informationen darüber, was in dem Sahelstaat passiert. Ein Pakt der Sahelstaaten, gemeinsam mit Niger und Burkina Faso, vereint seither drei Militärregierungen, die nach Staatsstreichen an die Macht kamen. Sie sind aus der westafrikanischen Wirtschaftsunion ECOWAS ausgetreten, wollen gemeinsam eine 5000 Mann starke Truppe gegen Islamisten aufstellen und sogar eine neue Währung schaffen. Diese Allianz wurde auch im Kulturbereich besiegelt: Martina Zimmermann war in Ségou dabei, als Mali eine "Woche der Brüderlichkeit der Sahelallianz" feierte.

We have always looked to strong and courageous leaders who will not backdown from their opinions as the epitome of leadership. But in a new article from the Deseret News, we may be rethinking this. We speak to Jeff Flake, served as U.S. ambassador to Turkey and as a U.S. senator from Arizona from 2013 to 2019 and is currently the Chair for the World Trade Center Utah about the usefulness of "Soft Power" and how it can lead to some de-escalation in the current political climate.

Could a weekly grilling like Prime Minister's Questions fix US politics? In the wake of Original Sin - Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's damning account of Joe Biden's final days in office - Ed Balls and George Osborne ask whether a PMQs-style showdown could bring more accountability to American democracy. And are there any American political customs they'd import to the UK in return?The pair then flick open their ministerial boxes: what's it like to carry one, what can one find inside and why has it never been replaced in the digital age for something more user-friendly? A red tablet perhaps? Speaking of opening up, George responds to Michael Gove's ex-wife Sarah Vine's claims in her recent memoir “How not to be a Political Wife” - did he really tell her to borrow some money from her father when she was in a financial bind?Plus - Giles Winn, Special Advisor to the Treasury under Philip Hammond, asks about soft diplomacy in an era of ramped-up military spending. With UCL, he just released a report, The Soft Power impact of The BBC World Service' - and he wants Ed and George to weigh in. And Christine Farquharson from the Institute for Fiscal Studies asks about the politics of the rise of Sure Start, which she recently evaluated alongside co-authors in this report.To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:

Latin America is the key focal point for the United States in its global competition with China. President Donald Trump has made it clear that he deems China's growing presence in the Western Hemisphere a direct threat to U.S. interests in the region. This puts most countries in Central and South America in a tight spot, given that many states in this region count China as their largest trading partner and the U.S. as their largest source of investment. Parsifal D'Sola Alvarado, a longtime China analyst and executive director of the Andrés Bello Foundation's China Latin America Research Center, joins Eric & Cobus to discuss the divergent strategies some countries are taking to align themselves with one or both of the major powers.

Soft power is not just about movies and television shows, but the ability to attract people to one's country through cultural influence and persuasion. Tourists and international students traveling to China interact with the people and culture, influencing their worldview along the way. How effective is China's soft power on a collective and individual level and what is the impact of China's soft power on the rest of the world?  Irene Wu joins the National Committee on May 8, 2025 to discuss soft power and how countries like China use it.  Click here to learn more about the speakers.

#NationalInterest There's much frustration in India over the global ‘narrative' on Pahalgam and Op Sindoor. We have to decide if global opinion matters to us or not.

A new investigation drawing on thousands of internal emails and documents reveals the activities of Pravfond, a Russian organisation established in 2012 with the stated goal of protecting the rights of Russians living abroad, primarily by offering assistance in legal matters.However, the EU and European intelligence agencies say that in some countries Pravfond acts as a safety net for Russian intelligence assets – agents or spies – who get into legal trouble. In some countries, it also provides cover stories for these spies.Two lawyers operating in Ireland, Elizaveta Donnery and Olga Shajaku, are mentioned in the documents.There is nothing to suggest that Donnery, Shajaku or other Russians in Ireland supported by Pravfond engaged in intelligence gathering, influence operations or illegal activity.But the connection shows that Russia has an interest in Ireland.Conor Gallagher tells In the News about the investigation, Pravfond's activities and its significance.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

In this episode, I share a personal story I've never told in this way before - my personal story of growing up as an extrasensory being: what it was like to feel everything, what are the daily challenges but also the gifts. It's about my journey of finding my voice and how building my business has been anything but traditional because I never felt like I truly belonged anywhere. I felt too strange for the spiritual communities and too sensitive for the corporate world, where I burned myself out trying to fit in. This is the story of how I found belonging without fitting in, how I discovered my place without compromising my essence. It's also the story of how I am stepping out of hiding and into leadership as a Sensitive Visionary, leading Soft Power movement in a world that is loud, messy, and constantly pulling you away from your purity, your heart, your body.It's also a glimpse into the heart of my work because it's the snippet from the module "Belonging without fitting in & self trust" in "Rise Voice" program.  In it, I explore what true belonging is (and what it's not), and how we often abandon ourselves to be accepted.  If this speaks to you, here are two ways to go deeper:1. Join my online retreat “Sensitive. Rebellious. Rising.” – a 2-day pay-as-you-wish event (minimum 44€) 2. For a deep, long-term journey with personalized support, The Rise Voice is my most intimate and transformational container. We explore soft power, self-leadership, emotional capacity, inner critic, fear, success, healing the social nervous system, and much more. A lot of core topics that affect and influence your personal power.Because for me, it always comes back to this:You can't lead others if you're disconnected from yourself.Support the show Currently enrolling into "Rise Voice"!!!

From the changing leadership and recognition of the Ahmed al-Sharaa led Syria, to President Donald Trump's deal making trip, to the GCC's role as counter to Iran, and why the Saudi and Qatari sovereign wealth funds and soft power plans are key to understanding what is really going on.All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.Andrew's piece on President Trump's policy towards the Houthis can be read here: https://open.substack.com/pub/heardtell/p/american-foreign-policy-drive-by?r=17xga&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false--------------------Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inboxhttps://heardtell.substack.com/Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

What if your fiercest judgments were just misplaced devotion?In this raw and revealing episode, we unpack those charged moments when your love for truth and justice gets mistaken for criticism or control. When your “I just want to help” lands more like “You're doing it wrong.” And when your longing to belong collides with your need to speak up.Two powerful stories unfold in this episode:  One about a moment of regret after calling out a fellow trainer in a large group, and another about getting kicked out of a recovery meeting… for being too disruptive. But underneath it all? The same longing: to be seen, heard, and held in our full humanity.

durée : 00:03:14 - Géopolitique - par : Pierre Haski - L'inventeur de l'expression Soft Power, Joseph Nye, est mort à l'âge de 88 ans, à un moment où son concept d'influence douce est "tué" par Donald Trump. « Le Soft Power va souffrir dans les quatre prochaines années », avait écrit Joseph Nye dans un récent article critique du président américain.

If “success” means burnout, exhaustion, and no joy left for you… it's time for a rewrite. In this third phase of our mini-series, we're talking redefinition. That means letting go of hustle-as-identity and embracing success that actually feels good. You'll learn how to visualize your future self, stop hiding behind productivity, and make aligned decisions that create real change — all without sacrificing your peace. I'm sharing the truth about what success looks like now versus what it used to (hint: it's no longer about hustle at all costs). We're talking about functional burnout, the invisible mental load, and the pressure to perform—and why it's time to flip the script. I'll walk you through: What it really means to redefine success on your own terms How to start making moves your future self will thank you for The power of mental rehearsal (aka visualizing the woman you're becoming) Why joy, rest, and pleasure deserve space on your calendar A few hard questions to help you stop hiding behind your busy schedule This isn't about doing less—it's about doing what aligns.

The U.S. has long balanced military strength with soft power in the Middle East through agencies like USAID. With the Trump administration reversing these policies, is this a necessary realignment—or a costly retreat? Those against these changes argue this will boost rivals like Iran and China and harm America's image. Those hailing them argue it's a necessary correction, favoring clear, transactional geopolitical goals over costly diplomacy. Now we debate: Was Trump Right to Be Hard on Soft Power in the Middle East?        Arguing Yes: Faisal Saeed Al Mutar, President & Founder of Ideas Beyond Borders   Arguing No: Jeffrey Gedmin, President & CEO of the Middle East Broadcasting Networks    Xenia Wickett, Geopolitical strategist, moderator at Wickett Advisory, and Trustee of Transparency International UK, is the guest moderator.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The argument for international aid is in part a moral one, but it's also been about U.S. interests. As then-senator Marco Rubio put it in 2017: "I promise you it's going to be a lot harder to recruit someone to anti-Americanism, anti-American terrorism if the United States of America was the reason why they're even alive today."Now, as secretary of state, Rubio serves under a president who is deeply skeptical of the idea of international aid. "We're giving billions and billions of dollars to countries that hate us," President Trump said in a speech last month. His administration shuttered the U.S. Agency for International Development. A federal judge said this week that move violated the constitution. What's left of the agency has been folded into the State Department.Trump has also moved to gut government-funded, editorially independent broadcasters like Voice of America, and attempted to effectively eliminate the congressionally-funded think tank the U.S. Institute of Peace.This sort of soft power has been a pillar of American foreign policy. Is the Trump administration walking away from it?We talk to former Democratic congressman and former secretary of agriculture, Dan Glickman, who sponsored the legislation that created the USIP. And NPR's Emily Feng reports on the legacy of Voice of America in China.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
