The document examines whether the EU can be considered a "superpower". It argues that the term superpower referred to the dominance of a single nation during the Cold War and no longer applies. While the EU lacks military strength, it has significant economic power and influence through trade. The EU also focuses on multilateral solutions to problems and sustainable development over military or economic dominance. Therefore, the document concludes the EU is not a superpower but a transformative power that promotes human rights and social democracy.
