The 28th Forum 2000 annual conference paid particular attention to the EU’s relations with the Global South. With a new EU leadership team taking office, the European Union is set to reevaluate the way it interacts with partners around the world. The emerging shifts in EU external relations will have a major impact on trends in democracy and autocratization. Forum 2000 asked experts from Asia, Africa, and Latin America to outline how they would like to see relations with the EU evolve in the future.
