States’ foreign policy strategies aimed at promoting their values, cultures, and
policies (soft power), as well as at advancing their interests have intensified by
over 100% in the last 25 years. This article seeks to explain the increasing level
of soft power around the world and its variations among states. Using a quantitative
model, it argues that states which invest more resources in their Ministries of Foreign
Affairs, thus building diplomatic capacity, are the ones that exert higher levels
of soft power in world affairs.
