As part of the 27th edition of Cátedra Europa, the event “Role of the European Union as a Global Actor: Challenges and Strategies” brought together renowned experts in international law and international relations to analyze the European Union’s position in today’s global landscape.
During the conference, Professor Amparo Alcoceba addressed the EU’s challenges amidst multipolarity, globalization, and interdependence, emphasizing its lack of strategic autonomy in key areas such as security and energy, as well as difficulties in managing migration and financial crises. While achievements in democracy, human rights, and sustainability were acknowledged, their limitations in practice were also highlighted. The discussion focused on the EU’s relations with Latin America, exploring its role as a key partner in areas such as peace and sustainability, while addressing challenges posed by competition with global players like the United States and China.
