Le vendredi 20 février 2015, le Dr. Lorena RUANO GÓMEZ a visité le campus de Natolin (Varsovie) du Collège d'Europe afin de tenir une conférence de haut niveau intitulée « The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies towards Latin America ».
Le Dr. Lorena RUANO GÓMEZ est Chaire Jean Monnet et Chercheuse au Centre pour la recherche et l'enseignement de l'économie (CIDE), Mexique.
Cette conférence spéciale, organisée conjointement par l'Ambassade du Mexique à Varsovie et le Collège d'Europe, a été inspirée par le livre homonyme, qui a été édité par le Dr. RUANO GÓMEZ et publié par Routledge.
Description du livre (en anglais) :
« Who shapes the European Union’s policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states’ relations with the region?
This book provides a comparative account of seven member states’ bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of ‘Europeanization’. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others.
Practitioners, established academic experts as well as emerging scholars in the field bring to bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU’s foreign relations. » (source: link)
