Question

which of the following are soft - power implementations of foreign policy? select three options.
□ reducing tariffs
□ economic sanctions
□ negotiations
□ providing aid
□ military response

Explanation:

Soft - power in foreign policy refers to the use of non - coercive, cooperative, and attractive means to achieve foreign policy goals.

• Reducing tariffs: This is a trade - related measure that promotes economic cooperation and is a non - coercive way to influence other countries, so it is a soft - power implementation.
• Negotiations: Negotiations involve dialogue and cooperation between countries to reach agreements, which is a typical non - coercive soft - power approach.
• Providing aid: When a country provides aid (such as humanitarian aid or development aid) to another country, it builds goodwill and positive relationships, which is a soft - power implementation.

Economic sanctions and military response are coercive or hard - power measures as they involve using pressure (economic sanctions) or force (military response) to achieve goals.

Answer:

• reducing tariffs
• negotiations
• providing aid
