Democracy, Development, Integration and Sustainability: European Union and Latin America

2026-07-22

The general objective of this Jean Monnet Module is to understand the crisis of democracy and regionalism, and its social impacts - aggravated by the Covid-19 Pandemic - and to propose ways to mitigate the diagnosed problems. We depart from the assumption that the more accurate the diagnosis, the better the conditions to adequately face the limiting or impeding scenarios of a plural and egalitarian society, something that has become more urgent with the Covid-19 Pandemic. We will focus on two regions as objects of study: Europe and Latin America. In each of them, the action will aim, on the one hand, to identify the processes and causes that are related to these crises, and, on the other hand, to understand which are the regional political-institutional mechanisms that have promoted fairer and more integrated societies. These objectives will be structured into two fronts of analysis: 1- Protection of human rights, democracy, citizenship and the environment and 2 -Development, regionalism and inclusion.
