- Abstract
- The article is devoted to analysis of the two U.S. foreign policy tools which are ‘soft power’ and sanctions. The role and place of modern institutions of U.S. soft power are defined. More than a dozen non-governmental organizations and authorities are involved in promoting democracy, educational programs and countering information propaganda. The transformation processes that have taken place in recent years in U.S. information institutions are identified. It is observed that the low impact of state radio stations is partly offset by providing anti-censorship technologies in undemocratic countries. The paper also emphasizes changes which have occurred over the eight months of Donald Trump’s presidency. U.S. soft power rate decrease is noted. The lack of public diplomacy is reinforced with ‘hard‘ measures. In this article, the authors prove that sanctions are a well-tried but not always effective instrument. Despite their special place among elements of U.S. security strategy, in practice many countries are more likely to adapt to the new environment rather than make concessions. It is stated that the actual impact on GDP is not great but sanctioned countries face with reduced investment and corruption risks.
