soft power has been produced by Hollywood, Har vard, Microsoft and Michael Jordan (p. 17)." Soft power waxes and wanes based on world geopolitical events and the world's perception, rightly or wrongly, of the country in question. Fareed Zakaria (2003), in his expose in Newsweek, "Why America Scares the World and What to Do About it," states that America's soft power has been eroding since the end of the cold war. The cold war kept Europe pro-Amer ican as their distrust of the former Soviet Union was far greater than their distrust of the US abusing its immense economic and military power. However, the end of the cold war, which left only one superpower remaining, the US, has caused a widening worry that the US would shape and dominate the world; thus, this has caused a prevailing feeling of deep and widening mistrust from the rest of the world.
