Soft power Unii Europejskiej

Changes in the international situation after 1989 required a change in the thinking of Europe as a group of cooperating countries which are able to secure a satisfactory level of security. Security that could be achieved by the use of EU’s soft power resources, which are: its culture, its values and conduct of foreign policy. Both popular culture and high culture confirms the position of the leading countries in Europe and is also developed through joint action. Europe’s power is also its efficient educational and management system, which determines the socioeconomic model. Another important aspect of Europe’s power is the socio-political factor with enormous range of civil liberties.
