Climate & Trade in a New Era: José Sanahuja on EU–Latin America Relations
Climate & Trade: A New Era for Europe and Latin America?
The EU’s green transition and a post-neoliberal, developmentalist moment are reshaping EU–Latin America relations. Is it partnership or green protectionism?
According to renowned political scientist, José Antonio Sanahuja, the 2024 EU–Mercosur Agreement shows a shift - balancing sustainability, industrial policy and cooperation for a fairer, more resilient future... What do you think?



Global Gateway, but on whose terms?
Dr. Fernando Cruz Prego reflects on what makes the EU’s Global Gateway a credible partnership option for Latin America and the Caribbean, and why integration is the real game-changer. In a world shaped by great-power competition, small and mid-sized countries face growing vulnerability.
Are we entering a new global political-economic order?
Prof. Diana Tussie from FLACSO Argentina explains how the US–China rivalry is reshaping global politics and economics, with Europe playing a key - yet increasingly difficult - role. She explores the impacts on Latin America, the erosion of multilateralism and regionalism, and why EU–Mercosur and Global Gateway could open new paths for cooperation. What do you think?
Mutual perceptions between Europe and Latin America have evolved — from colonial legacies to calls for autonomy and dialogue. As global power shifts reshape multilateralism, can both regions build a shared political imagination?
Prof. Kevin Parthenay eflects on changing identities, values, and the search for strategic convergence ahead of the next EU–LAC Summit. What kind of partnership can they truly envision?

How can EU–Latin America relations move beyond grand bi-regional summits and toward real, transformative cooperation?
Prof. Claudia Zilla argues that while high-level meetings matter, meaningful progress happens in smaller, flexible formats - among groups of states or through tailored, country-by-country engagement. The key she suggests, lies in recognising interdependencies and embracing diverse interests. Strategic autonomy may be the goal, but partnership requires acknowledging how deeply connected both regions truly are… What’s your take?
