1 WALES SOFT POWER BAROMETER 2018 Measuring soft power beyond the nation-state April 2018
2 01 WHAT IS SOFT POWER?
3 Hard Power vs. Soft Power HARD POWER SOFT POWER Hard power is the exercise of influence through coercion, relying on tactics like military force, payments, and economic sanctions Soft power uses attraction and persuasion to change minds and influence behaviour. Soft power is generated and leveraged through culture, public diplomacy, and a positive global contribution MILITARY PAYMENT SANCTIONS CULTURAL PROMOTION PUBLIC DIPLOMACY GLOBAL CONTRIBUTION
4 Joseph Nye, the originator of soft power, sets out three pillars as the sources of soft power POLITICAL VALUES CULTURE FOREIGN POLICY SOFT POWER
5 Three global mega-trends driving change in international politics A significant acceleration of the global rebalancing of economic, political, military, and soft power GEOPOLITICAL VOLATILITY DEVOLVING POWER DIGITAL REVOLUTION BREXIT & AMERICA FIRST QUESTIONING OF OLD ALLIANCES SHIFTING US-CHINA DYNAMIC POWER SHIFTING FROM WEST TO EAST POWER SHIFTING TO NON-STATE ACTORS NON-TRADITIONAL DIPLOMACY TRANSPARENCY AI BRINGING TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE DIGITAL DIPLOMACY PLATFORMS FOR ACTIVISM LKY SCHOOL: DIGITAL DIPLOMACY & ENGAGEMENT
6 NGOs Why does soft power matter? National governments SOFT POWER Civil society/ individuals Because networks shape global outcomes. City/regional governments Multilateral organisations Private sector
7 Regions and cities are engaging on global issues in ever greater numbers Three factors make this possible and necessary GLOBALISATION AUTONOMY/ DEVOLUTION NATIONAL GOV T SUPPORT ECONOMIC INTERDEPENDENCE POWER SHIFTING TO NON-STATE ACTORS POWER DIFFUSION COMPETENTION FOR CAPITAL & TALENT NON-TRADITIONAL DIPLOMACY BENEFITS NATIONAL-LEVEL GOVT TRANS-NATIONAL CHALLENGES/ISSUES MORE PLATFORMS TO ENGAGE GLOBAL PULIBC NO POLITICAL BAGGAGE FROM FOREIGN POLICY
8 02 MEASURING SOFT POWER
9 Using soft power effectively starts with understanding what resources a country has at its disposal SOFT POWER CONVERSION PROCESS RESOURCES Only with a clear understanding of what soft power a country has, can it be deployed effectively OBJECTIVES CONVERSION TARGET RESPONSE NYE,J. (2011) THE FUTURE OF POWER, NEW YORK: PUBLIC AFFAIRS OUTCOME
10 The Regional Soft Power Index follows a similar framework as The Soft Power 30 framework The Soft Power 30 and Regional Soft Power Index both follow a similar framework, combining objective and subjective data THE SOFT POWER 30 REGIONAL SOFT POWER INDEX
11 The Regional Soft Power Index follows a similar framework as The Soft Power 30 framework: Objective data Six separate sub-indices comprise the objective data. ENTERPRISE CULTURE DIGITAL GOVERNMENT ENGAGEMENT EDUCATION REGIONAL SOFT POWER INDEX LKY SCHOOL: DIGITAL DIPLOMACY & ENGAGEMENT
12 The Soft Power 30 framework: Subjective data Newly commissioned international polling across seven factors comprises the subjective data CUISINE SPORT FRIENDLINESS CULTURE LUXURY GOODS POLITICAL VALUES LIVEABILITY REGIONAL SOFT POWER INDEX LKY SCHOOL: DIGITAL DIPLOMACY & ENGAGEMENT
13 We polled 5,000 people across 10 countries to collect the subjective data for the regional soft power index CANADA USA IRELAND FRANCE GERMANY CHINA JAPAN QATAR UAE INDIA
14 The Regional Soft Power Index Framework Cuisine The Regional Soft Power framework combines both objective and subjective data to measure and compare the soft power of 10 different regions. Government Digital Objective Data Polling Data Sport Friendliness Culture Enterprise 70% REGIONAL SOFT POWER INDEX 30% Culture Luxury Goods Engagement Political values Education Liveability
15 In selecting the ten regions for the index, we started with Wales and then searched for similar regions Starting with Wales, we selected nine other regions that were broadly comparable on several key factors: Level of devolved authority GDP size Population size QUEBEC, CANADA SCOTLAND, UK NORTHERN IRELAND, UK WALES, UK CATALONIA, SPAIN FLANDERS, BELGIUM CORSICA, FRANCE JEJU, SOUTH KOREA HOKKAIDO, JAPAN Level of development, and History of international engagement PUERTO RICO, USA
16 Moving from nation-state unit of analysis to a framework for regional governments is not without its challenges There were four main challenges the research team faced in constructing a soft power index for regions 1. Definition: What constitutes a regional government? 2. Comparability: Regions are not perfectly comparable in the same way nation-states are 3. Data availability: Different regions follow different standards and practices for collecting and publishing data 4. Awareness: There are varying levels of awareness of regions in the collective mind of global opinion
17 03 THE RESULTS

25 04 HOW DOES WALES PERFORM?
26 Wales performance across the Regional Soft Power Index: Objective data ENTERPRISE EDUCATION ENGAGEMENT DIGITAL GOVERNMENT CULTURE Wales is strongest in Digital, ranking 3 rd over all for digital infrastructure and engagement with audiences on social media Enterprise is also a strength for Wales, ranking 4 th. More needs to be done on R&D and fostering innovation, but on the whole, Wales has an attractive investment offer for many types of businesses Wales performs less well on Education. This is a reflection of fewer international students than other regions. But more could be done to promote Welsh universities and attract international students. Government, Culture, and Engagement show middling performance. Assets to build on, but clear room for improvement.
27 Wales performance across the Regional Soft Power Index: Polling data POLLING SPORT LUXURY POLITICAL FRIENDLINESS LIVEABILITY CUISINE CULTURE GOODS VALUES Wales is most positively perceived in terms of sport, ranking 2 nd behind only Catalonia Wales gets a mid-table position for perceptions of Welsh political values In many ways, Wales is catching up on Devolution, so this could improve as Wales asserts more political autonomy Wales performs worst on cuisine and luxury goods Surprisingly, Wales underperforms on perceived friendliness and welcoming to tourists In aggregate, Wale s polling performance is not great, earning a ranking of 7 th out of 10.
28 What do people associate with Wales? As part of the international polling, we tested associations with each region. For Wales we found: 1. Associations were relatively fragmented 2. No clear distinction between Wales and rest of UK 3. Opinions on Wales are perhaps fairly uninformed and potentially malleable
29 Five overall thoughts that come out of the 2018 Regional Soft Power Index Overall awareness is a challenge for regions History of non-state nation building helps Greater autonomy = More soft power Wales starting from a decent base Differentiation from rest of UK will be key Regions are on the whole at a disadvantage in terms of global awareness, compared to nation-states. They need to work harder to build global profile The top of our league-table is dominated by regions that have a history of building up a national identity through political, civic, cultural, and linguistic means Related to the above, higher levels of regional government authority correlate with greater soft power reserves but there is plenty of room for improvement. Focus should be on educational elements of soft power and on being seen as friendly and welcoming The association polling data shows Wales has a lot of work to do in raising profile and clarifying what sets it apart from the rest of the UK
30 05 RECOMMENDATIONS
31 How should the Welsh Government respond to the findings of this research? There are good initiatives underway, but more can be done. Here are our key recommendations: 1. Address the friendliness issue with a tourism campaign that puts Welsh people at the centre of video and rich media content tell personal stories that highlight the spirit of Welsh hospitality 2. Build on the Global Wales partnership and scale up as soon as possible to attract more international students in key target markets 3. Invest in a large-scale, on the ground public diplomacy campaign at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. Start planning a Wales House in Tokyo now 4. Overhaul the Welsh government s management structure for international affairs with a dedicated directorate that manages all international-facing issues, and create a ministerial portfolio in cabinet 5. Leverage the Welsh language as a key differentiator for Wales and champion both bilingualism and unique, endangered languages around the world
