Europe and Latin America: the same challenges, different response

The current review examines a collective monograph prepared by the researchers of the Institute of Europe under the guidance of its director A.A.Gromyko. The book touches on a number of challenges that Europe faces during the contemporary turbulence of the modern international system. The following challenges could be highlighted: various European socio-economic policy approaches during the COVID-19 pandemic; the problems of European countries due to different views on the vaccine diplomacy and the vaccine war; cybersecurity and internal security threats that are concerned within public protests and shocks caused, for example, by the migration crisis; as well as the costs of the environmental agenda and “green” energy transition. European approaches to solving the problems outlined above seem interesting in comparison with the responses of Latin American states to the same challenges.
