We may think we live in a digital age, but only half the world is  currently online. Across the globe, small radio stations bind remote  communities, play a dazzling array of music, educate, entertain and  empower people to make change. Cameroon’s Radio Taboo, in a remote  rainforest village 100 miles off the grid, relies on solar power; its  journalists and engineers are all local men and women. Radio Civic  Sfantu Gheorghe in the Danube Delta preserves the history...

Joseph Nye: Global power shifts: hard power, soft power and smart power (2011)

One is power transition, which is change of power amongst states. And there the simple version of the message is it's moving from West to East.

Culture governs every  aspect of our lives: our dress sense and manners, our art and  architecture, our education, law and philosophy. To govern culture, it  seems, is to govern the world. But what is cultural imp...
