Europe has an important task, Corriere della Sera insists:
“If internal divisions and institutional regulations prevent direct intervention on the ground, the EU must at least act on its preferred terrain: persuasion, consensus-building, dialogue. … In the absence of hard power (based on determination and deterrence, like that of the United States), the EU should exploit its soft power capital. … Showing the world its model for peace, prosperity and justice is only the first step that a ‘normative’ power like the EU can take. The next is to identify and support those leaders and organisations that can change their countries’ illiberal regimes from within.”
