WASHINGTON -- Joseph Nye, a former dean of Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government who coined the term "soft power," died on Tuesday. He was 88.
A towering figure in political science, Nye conceptualized soft power -- the ability of a country to win the hearts and minds of others through its culture and values rather than coercion -- in his 1990 book, "Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power."
