摘要

摘要尽管尼日利亚拥有丰富的软实力资源,但人们对尼日利亚五旬节派牧师/先知日益增长的跨国影响力却没有给予足够的重视。鉴于近来对个人软实力能力的重视,使得软实力话语不再严格关注以国家为中心的分析,本文考察了尼日利亚五旬节派牧师/先知的软实力吸引力,尤其是已故先知约书亚。这篇文章认为,由于这种巨大的影响力,尼日利亚政府可以利用它作为一种强有力的外交工具,进一步增强其软实力,尽管它指出,预期的政教分离可能会带来一些挑战。关键词:尼日利亚,pentecostalism,软实力,预言,先知Joshua,披露声明,作者未发现潜在的利益冲突。尼日利亚2006年的人口普查显示,该国的穆斯林人数超过6800万,而埃及的穆斯林人数为5500万,是阿拉伯国家中最多的。

Soft power prophet(s): the unexplored dimension of Nigeria’s religious soft power potential
ABSTRACTDespite Nigeria’s reservoir of soft power resources, adequate attention has not been given to the growing transnational influence of Nigeria’s Pentecostal pastors/prophets. Drawing on the recent emphasis on soft power capabilities of individuals which moves soft power discourse away from focusing strictly on state-centric analysis, this paper examines the soft power attraction of Nigeria’s Pentecostal pastors/prophets, especially, the late Prophet TB Joshua. The article argues that with the enormity of such influence, the Nigerian state can leverage it as a potent tool of diplomacy to further enhance its soft power, although it notes that the expected separation between the state and religion might pose some challenges.KEYWORDS: NigeriaPentecostalismsoft powerprophecyProphet TB Joshua Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. Nigeria’s 2006 Census enumerated over 68 million Muslims in the country compared to Egypt’s 55 million, which is the highest for any Arab country.

期刊介绍: Founded in 1910, The Round Table, Britain"s oldest international affairs journal, provides analysis and commentary on all aspects of international affairs. The journal is the major source for coverage of policy issues concerning the contemporary Commonwealth and its role in international affairs, with occasional articles on themes of historical interest. The Round Table has for many years been a repository of informed scholarship, opinion, and judgement regarding both international relations in general, and the Commonwealth in particular, with authorship and readership drawn from the worlds of government, business, finance and academe.
