Emphasising Commonalities or Differences: New Perspectives on European-Latin American Relations, 12-17 September 2010
Europe Meets Latin America: A Forum for Young Leaders (EMLA)
The next EMLA Weeklong Seminar will take place in Berlin from 12th - 17th September, 2010
“Emphasising Commonalities or Differences: New Perspectives on European-Latin American Relations”
The strong cultural and historical links between Europe and Latin America play an important role in determining the nature of contemporary relations between the two regions, and between individual countries within the regions. Recently, however, scholars and key stakeholders have emphasised the importance of treating the two regions as distinct entities and highlighting the differences between the two. They argue that doing so allows for a more pragmatic, forward thinking approach to foreign policy and regional agreements. In addition to looking at the history and development of cultural diplomacy and its application in bi-regional relations, the forthcoming EMLA Weeklong Seminar will consider these two approaches and the extent to which they might offer different perspectives on the future of European-Latin American relations
