New book highlights advantages of ‘soft power’ in Middle East

CHICAGO: The authors of a new book on how the US helped stabilize Egypt through “soft power” argue that the strategy could have helped avoid much of today’s regional conflict. In an interview with Arab News, two of the three authors of “A Daring Enterprise: A US-Egyptian Partnership and the Case for Soft Power,” said Egypt represented one of the most successful American foreign aid programs in decades. The book explores how the US created the Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund and injected $300 million into the Arab country, helping steer it back to economic stability.
