The reconfiguration of the European Union's presence in Latin America and the Caribbean (EUinLAC)
Objectives:
The Jean Monnet project "The reconfiguration of the EU presence in Latin America and the Caribbean (EUinLAC)" analyzes EU-LAC relations in a challenging and rapidly evolving global scenario. This includes COVID-19, BREXIT, a new EU Commission and a new US administration, the rise of China and other emerging powers, and the role of Germany. The project responds to three needs:
- Promote teaching about the EU and its values in the face of growing skepticism.
- raise awareness about the real presence and action of the EU in Latin America.
- Strengthen links between European and Latin American civil societies, including expatriate communities.
The truly interdisciplinary and international team will address two crucial aspects of EU-LAC relations: the role and foreign policy of key EU and LAC actors with the ability to boost bi-regional relations, and current and innovative issues on the agenda. bi-continental for a greener, more inclusive and prosperous future
