Description
How do science and international cooperation build soft power? John Holdren explores how research, technology, and innovation strengthen a country’s global standing and make it an attractive partner.
Drawing on U.S. cooperation with the Soviet Union and China, Holdren discusses shared challenges in energy, the environment, and public health. He explains why the risks of scientific collaboration should be managed alongside its benefits, and examines how China’s clean energy deployment can contribute to its international influence.
Part of the Belfer Center’s Soft Power series at Harvard Kennedy School, exploring how cooperation and attraction shape international affairs.
