One thought on “Remembering Joseph S. Nye”

  1. Thank you, Karsten, and well done on this beautifully written and insightful article! You have captured Nye’s enduring vision with both intellectual clarity and a strong sense of moral urgency. Your linking of Malta’s cultural heritage with the concept of “honey” as soft power is especially elegant. It raises a question: can a small state like Malta, through sustained cultural diplomacy, meaningfully counterbalance the hard power of larger nations, not by opposing forces, but by reshaping the narratives and values that guide global cooperation?
