Social policy issues within the framework
of EU development cooperation for Latin America

The article sets out to unravel the overall picture, describe and analyze recent developments in the EU-Latin America development cooperation focusing on social issues. The region has the highest Gini coefficient worldwide and due to EU’s special attention to deprived regions in the course of European integration, the subject of social cohesion had become an axis in bi-regional relations. The article focuses on normative analysis of the EU documents and declarations of the EU – Latin America and Caribbean summits held since 1999. Subsequently, programmes financed by the EU are examined in the view of social issues importance.
