The EU has a window of opportunity in the wider Atlantic Space, which includes the four regions bordering the Atlantic ocean: South and Central America and the Caribbean, North America, Europe, and Africa. While the general perception by stakeholders across the Atlantic Space is that the EU has lost relevance in all the regions, a potential increase in influence is still considered positive. The EU needs to rethink its strategy to engage with the other Atlantic regions, as part of its global strategy to reposition itself in the world.
Atlantic Future is a Seventh Framework Programme project that analyses fundamental trends in the wider Atlantic Space.
