In this paper, I respond to the editors request that I look back on the
concept of soft power that I first published in 1990. I describe my
approach to power; explain the origins of the soft power concept in
relation to the academic debates in international relations,
and respond to several criticisms of the concept. I then discuss
coercion and voluntarism illustrated by the concept of sharp
power, and conclude by describing the evolution of the concept
in relation to policy interests of several countries
