Open Class Europe and Latin America: A Necessary Convergence for the Future

Presentation of the book "Europe and Latin America – The Necessary Convergence", in an open class at Lusófona University - Lisbon University Centre, with its students from the Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and International Relations. The title of the publication by the José Bonifácio Chair at the USP – University of São Paulo, coordinated by Álvaro Vasconcelos, its thirteenth holder, recently launched, encapsulates the proposal advocated by the study he led at USP during the year 2024.

Covering a broad range of topics, in articles written by 25 authors, the book is divided into two parts. One is the agenda of convergence: beyond global fractures, with the articles: "Europe-Latin America Relations in a Post-Hegemonic World" and "Europe and Latin America: Common Humanity and Terrestrial Patriotism". The other part is entitled "Expanding the Convergence Agenda", containing articles on the themes of democracy, human rights and culture, climate change, war, and security.
