The European Union – Latin America and the Caribbean Digital Alliance: Geopolitics in the Era of Technological Global Governance

By: Mario Torres Jarrín (13/02/2025). This article examines the European Union (EU)-Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) Digital Alliance initiative, which is a geopolitical response by the EU to restore relations with LAC countries and address the challenges presented by the digital age. Likewise, the reconfiguration of the traditional international system and the global governance system, both altered by the emergence of new geopolitical actors, the Big Tech Companies (BTC), are studied. In addition, the different geopolitical dilemmas faced by both regions are analyzed in order to position themselves as global actors rather than global observers.
