Joe Nye
Joseph Nye is University Distinguished Service Professor, Emeritus and former Dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. Joe is the co-founder, with Robert Keohane, of the international relations theory known as neoliberalism, developed in their 1977 book Power and Interdependence. He pioneered the theory of soft power, and his notion of "smart power" became popular with the use of this phrase by members of the Clinton Administration, and more recently the Obama Administration. In addition to teaching at Harvard, Joe has taught for brief periods in Geneva, Ottawa, and Oxford. Earlier in his career, he has served as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, Chair of the National Intelligence Council, and Deputy Under Secretary of State, where he was honored with distinguished service awards from all three agencies. In a recent survey of international relations scholars, he was rated the fifth most influential over the past 20 years, and ranked as the most influential scholar on American foreign policy.
