%X This chapter examines the changes in EU development policies through this double process, geopolitical and geo-economic, and their effects on the partnership with Latin America and the Caribbean and its governance. The partnership, previously governed by the rules of the liberal order, conformed to the hegemonic pattern of regionalized globalization of the last decade of the twentieth century. The partnership is now being redefined through a logic of strategic autonomy and friendship-building, with preferential links between like-minded and reliable partners. This chapter examines these changes, considering the asymmetries of this relationship, which places the EU in a dominant position. It also analyzes Latin American responses and the tensions and readjustments that this geo-economic and development policy shift implies for the governance of bi-regional relations. These tensions are evident in the role of the EU as a regulatory power, in the adaptation of the association agreements and their trade component, and in the implementation of new EU investment programs designed to promote green policies, such as the Global Gateway initiative. These include maintaining open and rule-based economies, decarbonization and the ecological transition, and the industrial policy, social cohesion, and economic resilience strategies of the new green deals.
