Towards New Forms of EU-LAC Relations: Convergence and Divergence in the Face of New Global Complexity (en Inglés) - Alexis Berg Rodríguez

This volume explores how the European Union and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) can strengthen their strategic partnership to address global challenges. It examines the outcomes of the IV EU–CELAC Summit and highlights opportunities for deeper cooperation in areas such as climate change, migration, human rights, and sustainable development. Bringing together insights from diplomats, policymakers, and academics, the volume presents a comprehensive analysis of how both regions can respond to rising authoritarianism and techno-capitalism. It argues that shared values and interests make the EU and CELAC natural allies in defending the international democratic system and promoting inclusive global governance. The volume also investigates the impact of external powers, particularly China, on the EU–CELAC relationship, and discusses how both regions can enhance their strategic autonomy. It emphasizes the importance of coordinated diplomacy, effective implementation of agreements, and the development of joint policies to ensure long-term stability and prosperity.

Accessible and timely, this volume offers fresh perspectives on interregional cooperation and provides practical recommendations for policymakers and scholars. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the future of EU–CELAC relations and the evolving dynamics of global diplomacy.
