The UK is still considered a ‘soft power superpower’ but this position is under threat as other countries increase financial investment and improve soft power policy, says our new report. The UK is currently a middle-ranking country in terms of state support for soft power, spending considerably less than Germany, France, Spain, or Portugal. Researchers found that the budgets for China’s Confucius Institutes, Spain’s Instituto Cervantes, France’s Alliances Françaises Foundation, Portugal’s Instituto Camões, and Russia’s Russkiy Mir Foundation, and their respective government’s soft power activities, all appear to have increased. Soft Power at a Turning Point, authored by ICR Research Ltd and published by the British Council, compared the soft power activities of 18 leading countries plus the European Union.
