Europe and Latin America share strategic interests in an uncertain world, but the challenge is to turn these common interests into a stronger alliance.

China’s influence in Latin America goes beyond raw materials: it also extends, in less visible ways, to universities and scholarship programs.

Latin America and Italy are entering a new phase of closer ties, built on a shared history that they hope will lead to a more stable alliance.

Despite its deep economic crisis, Cuba retains an international influence greater than its material weight thanks to a broad network of governments, political parties, trade unions, and social organizations that support the regime.

The figure of the "American friend" continues to symbolize an unequal power relationship, from the Cold War to contemporary transatlantic and Latin American politics.

Washington is once again betting on a strategy that already failed more than six decades ago: using economic sanctions to force political change in Cuba. Yet, while it seeks to isolate the regime, it also hampers reforms and pushes Havana closer to China.
