He received his bachelor's degree summa cum laude from Princeton University, studied at Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship, and earned a Ph.D. in political science from Harvard where he joined the faculty in 1964. In 2008, a poll of 2700 international relations scholars listed him as the most influential scholar on American foreign policy, and in 2011 "Foreign Policy" listed him among the 100 leading global thinkers.
From 1977-79, Nye was a deputy Undersecretary of State and chaired the National Security Council Group on Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

He won Distinguished Service medals from all three agencies.
Nye has published fourteen academic books, a novel, and more than 150 articles in professional and policy journals. Recent books include the highly influential Soft Power, The Powers to Lead, The Future of Power, and Is the American Century Over? Nye's newest book Do Morals Matter? Presidents and Foreign Policy from FDR to Trump was published in January 2020.
He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the British Academy, the American Academy of Diplomacy, and an honorary fellow of Exeter College, Oxford.
