There is a new advent of geopolitics and geoeconomics in Europe. The Brexit, the migration crisis, the Eurozone-crisis as well as the heated EU-Russia relations all are high on the political agenda in Europe and have far-reaching implications on other powerhouses and regions of the world, including Latin America. These events significantly reshaped party politics in the old continent, which was accompanied by the deeping internal division of the old continent.

The presentation will give an overview on the current challenges of the European Union in a global context and will analyse how recent geopolitical and geoeconomic tendencies influence doing business in Europe, as well as the business strategies of European companies overseas, especially in Latin America. Particular emphasis will be placed on the relationship between Latin America and the European Union, with focus on trade agreements, capital flows, development aid and migration.

Last but not least, the conference will deal with the Peru–EU relationships, identifying ways to further strengthen the existing political, economic and academic ties.

Conference in English without simultaneous interpreting.
