Soft power - Is it a choice or the only choice in the mulilateral world .

There is a lot of talk about the soft power where a country uses her culture , good-will to influence the other country and bring about decision in her favour in the multilateral or regional forums which are adding up in numbers each year .
   With the influence of the so-called super power dwindling a little bit and new aggressive economics attaining some say , the world has been moved into a new era where no has control and all has control .The recent blocking of UN security council resolution over Syria by Russia and china , the growing concern over the iran fuel trade by the countries clearly shows that zone of acceptance of different countries have reduced and priority are clearly defined and pursued too .
    So , with this new world equation how to influence the other countries decision seems now to have only one solution that is power of one culture , power of her to be-friend and work together for mutual benefit .Economic power , which is today the ultimate power but then what is the reason that one find her self being rich in a sustained way , the answer is the country culture and how well this culture accept innovation and breeds it and bring it to next level where it can serve mankind .
  Today the technology development has lead to the flow of information more than what one can absorb and use  but the new thing it has created is that it has increased the horizon of tools and knowledge needed to innovate and think of something new. This new global order is going to lead to only one way , that is of making friends or  followers by virtue of one superior culture and value system .
