I caught up with legendary international relations scholar Joseph Nye at the The Aspen Security Forum. This conference was a target rich environment for snagging great guests for the podcast and I have some excellent episodes coming up, including a conversation with the most recent Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the Ukranian Human Rights Lawyer Oleksandra Matviichuk and Kenya's National Security Advisor Monica Juma.  I speak with Joseph Nye, best known for coming up with the concept of "Soft Power" describes the sources of Chinese soft power today and how that factors into geopoliticsl competition with the United States. We also discuss what opportunities might be harnessed to avoid a new Cold War between the United States and China.
