Webinar series "Governance in the Latin America-European Union Relationship"
The Carolina Foundation and WISC cordially invite you to participate in the webinars Governance in the Latin America-European Union Relationship.
In preparation for the next Spanish presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2023, the webinars seek to promote a systematic and broad reflection on the state of relations between Latin America and Europe. The series is part of a research project, coordinated by Roberto Domínguez and José Antonio Sanahuja, which includes a large group of renowned specialists on the subject from both shores of the Atlantic.
The purpose of the discussions is to review and analyze the main areas of interaction between Europe and Latin America, articulating its multiple aspects under the common perspective of the concept of governance, including actors, rules, institutions, and decision-making. In each session, the contributions of various members of the project will be discussed, and grouped according to the following thematic axes:
1. Latin America from the perspective of the institutions of the European Union
2. The European Union and the regions/states of Latin America
3. Economic links
4. Political agenda
5. Societal experiences
6. The emerging global order
7. Definition of the Euro-Latin American space
