Abstract

This text offers suggestions on how to overcome the divide between Europe and Latin America. On the one hand, it deals with the link between Europe and other globalised countries, and it particularly proposes several economic reflections in terms of competitiveness of production, pricing and quality vis á vis North America and Europe. On the other hand, it addresses the second challenge: how to bridge the divide between rich and poor countries? This part focuses on the multilateral policies and how to promote a globalisation process with less violence that allows different poor or threshold countries to form part of the global concert. What forms of global governance are required to establish mechanisms to convene, set a common agenda, and engage in a process of democratic decision-making with benefits for both hemispheres?
