sobre el poder mundial en nuestra era.

“Power depends on context, and the distribution of power differs in different domains. In the global information age, power is distributed among countries in a pattern that resembles a complex three- dimensional chess game. On the top of the chessboard of political- military issues, military power is largely unipolar, but on the economic board, the United States is not a hegemon or an Empire, and it must bargain as an equal when Europe acts in a unified way. And on the bottom chessboard of transnational relations, power is chaotically dispersed, and it makes no sense to use traditional terms such as unipolarity, hegemony, or American empire.”

Joseph Nye, “Soft Power and American Foreign Policy”
