Abstract

This article investigates the challenges of the liberal democracy in the
new international context, provoked by the emergence of the new great
powers (Russia and China), and especially the establishment of the BRICS
grouping in the world political scene. Namely, this article ‘clashes’ the both
paradigms of BRICS and the EU, in order to conclude their performances
in relation to the values of liberal democracy. In that context, especially is
stressed the liberal axiological set of the EU, as a postmodern entity, with
typical soft power in the international relations. The EU soft power stems
from its axiological set, which predominantly is composed by the values
of liberal democracy. The new international context is characterised by
the establishment of liberal and illiberal actors. The IR theorists treated
the USA and the EU as main represents of the liberal democracy, whilst
Russia and China, as illiberal democracies, or simply, autocracies. This article
concludes the forthcoming challenges of the liberal democracy in the
new international context, as well as the place, role and the international
political capacity of the EU, in relation to its mission for safeguarding and
advancement of the liberal democratic values.
