Some nations deploy influence strategies so they can impose their wishes on other actors without the use of force. They will use seduction, appeal, pressure, inconvenience, or payment, to greater or lesser extents, depending on the nature of their regime. The channels used to implement these strategies include the media, culture, education, entryism, and digital technologies. European nations are becoming increasingly aware of these challenges, but they owe it to themselves to take more vigorous action.
