About the Global Soft Power Index
The index shows the nation’s ability to influence the preferences and behaviours of various actors in the international arena through attraction or persuasion rather than coercion. The study measures, in particular, influence, familiarity and reputation of countries
Ukraine in Global Soft Power Index 2023
How has Ukraine managed to achieve 37th spot out of 121 and what does it mean – Ukrainians, Ukrainian experts and media showcased great interest in Ukraine’s positive soft power indicators.
Global Soft Power Index 2023
In 2023, Ukraine sits among the top 20 most influential countries in the world. This results from the successful execution of its internal end external diplomatic communications approach. Last year, Ukraine ranked 45th in the ranking of influence. According to the familiarity indicator, Ukraine moved up from 47th to 14th place. Ukraine’s reputation has shown a moderate improvement; the metric’s growth is partially disturbed by perceptions of respondents from Asia who believe that Ukraine’s reputation in 2023 marginally declined.
The results were discussed at Global Soft Power Summit, focusing on Ukraine this year, on 2 March, London. The speakers were Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba, First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, Creative Director of the Ukrainian Institute Tetyana Filevska, and others.
