The piece emphasizes the changing global landscape where influential figures, such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, have raised eyebrows with their provocative statements and ventures, suggesting a broader discourse about democratic values and their implications. It posits that Europe, as a historical proponent of democratic values and international law, must reinforce its role as a global normative power, which transcends geographical barriers. The author argues that there are numerous nations aspiring to join this coalition of democracies that prioritize adherence to international norms, showing that the EU's influence and values could guide global governance in a world increasingly characterized by sociopolitical challenges. Ultimately, it suggests that the EU should not only focus on internal cohesion but also look outward, embracing partnerships with diverse nations to promote its foundational principles on the world stage.
