EU Relations with Latin America: From Social Resilience to Global Governance

This event explored the relations between the European Union and Latin America in the framework of a wider transatlantic cooperation. In an age where chaos and crisis is proliferating, the links between the EU and Latin America offer much potential for closer cooperation and a joint contribution to a peaceful and rules based international order. This conference brought together key policy-makers and experts from both academia and civil society to discuss new challenges and opportunities of cooperation between the EU and Latin America as well as how powers on both sides of the Atlantic can join forces to find multilateral solutions to new global challenges.
