Markus, Yael, thanks for the work. Few points for your considerations:

Slide #3: For courtesy, better to write 'Prof Gabi Ben Dor", instead of just "Gabi Ben Dor".

Slide #6: Not clear why the 5 circles (power, force, manipulation, influence and authority) are overlapping in such manner? Also, what does the biggest circle mean as it was not labelled.

Slide #7: What do we only put in bracket "Public Diplomacy" in Soft Power? A country uses soft power on another country not just to "communicate" with the foreign public, but also its state leaders.

Slide #7: May need to explain why smart power encompasses all of hard, soft and the "overlapping" powers, because in Prof Gabi's lecture, he explained that smart power is the synthesis of the two powers, kind of lies in between hard and soft powers.

Slide #10: Cannot see the results you compiled. I think there is a problem if you drag and drop images from another folder into the powerpoint. Try using the function "Insert Picture" instead.

Slide #12: "Technology" may not be purely soft. For example in Cyber, if I can anytime hack into your national network, I can make you do my bidding as I wish. Same for 'Resources", if I make use of it like controlling a child's pocket money, then it is hard power.

Just a few cents comments. Happy new year to all!

Rgds,

Wei How
