| Sumario: | The development cooperation between the European Union and Latin America and Caribbean is facing a period of structural crisis that casts doubt on its effectiveness. In order to stand against the challenges imposed by globalization and participate in the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals, the approach to local development and decentralized cooperation may represent efficient responses, because they would be able to adapt to the heterogeneity that characterizes each territory of the Latin region. However, local development is considered by the organisms of the European Union as an end more than a mean for the aims of eradicating poverty and achieving sustainable economic and social development, perpetuating vertical and paternalistic policies that can hardly solve every problem. In contrast, the perspective of decentralized cooperation involving all local actors in both regions seems to offer a valid alternative to international development cooperation. |
