国际政治的泰斗、哈佛肯尼迪学院前院长约瑟夫·奈（Joseph Nye）在5月6日去世，享年88岁。没有国际政治学生能够避开这位老爷 子，我也一样。 软实力衰退与否，有不同视角 作为软实力概念的奠基者，他的离开正值一个微妙的时刻——美国的国际软实力似乎正在以一种诡异的方式，从内部被破坏。 但在国关学者和其他国家来看，尽管约瑟夫·奈在历史上曾多次反思过美国的领导地位是否行将衰落，他很可能从来没像今天一样， 强烈地感受到下坡路的威胁如此迫在眉睫。在去世前，在老特的上一任期，他的看法可以用他自己的语言概括："川普担任总统四 年，对我、对美国和对世界来说都很煎熬。他很难相处，因为他对国际事务的情境智力很低，而且他高度自恋，限制了他的情绪智 力。" 一个难相处的人不一定是坏的共事者。有的领导很难相处，对下要求严格、挑剔，但你知道他会让你提升进步，并且分利益的时候 公平甚至大方，你不太会有怨言。但如果这个领导反复无常、苛刻且理由不能服众，很多时候让人觉得只是为了挑刺而挑刺，以批 评来立威，你不会敬佩，也不会想追随。 对外和对内不在自己阵营的人，老特无疑都是那个"难相处"的人。如果对内还有整体国力提升这样的业绩可以交待，对外 ...
