From The UK To Argentina, These Top-30 Countries Lead The World In “Soft Power,” 2018
The United Kingdom leads the world in “soft power,” according to a Portland Communications ranking, with France placed second on the list. Surprisingly, India, the world’s largest democracy, does not figure on the list.
European countries continue to dominate the overall rankings in the Soft Power 30 Index, accounting for six of the top 10 and 19 of the top 30. Four Asian countries made it to the list — Japan (5th), South Korea (20th), Singapore (21st), and China (27th).
France was followed by Germany, the United States, Japan, Canada, and Switzerland. Sweden, Netherlands, and Australia rounded out the top-10.
The Soft Power 30 Index, prepared and published by UK-based consultancy firm Portland and USC Center on Public Diplomacy, ranks the top 30 countries judged as having the most significant global influence through soft power such as diplomacy, international engagement, and leadership rather than military power.
Soft power is the ability to persuade others to do what you want, without having to use force or coercion.
