This book aims to explain how foreign policy can adapt to the challenge of globalization. Two central questions are posed to structure the argument: how can foreign policy defend or project statist political communities using soft power within a global information space, and does soft power, when exercised in turn by non-state actors, affect foreign policy by undermining statist community within the same global information space?
