Abstract
El uso del poder duro y la negligente política económica y política de la administración Bush provocaron una crisis de legitimidad en el liderazgo internacional estadunidense. Para enmendar esta situación, Obama optó por aplicar la política de poder inteligente (“smart power”); sin embargo, en ocasiones su puesta en marcha ha sido obstaculizada por la polarización política y la crisis económica internas. A pesar de las circunstancias, dicha política ha mostrado ser viable para lograr los objetivos de la política exterior de Estados Unidos, toda vez que, frente a diversos sucesos, ha permitido recuperar gradualmente algunos de los espacios de influencia en el mundo perdidos por Estados Unidos.
