| Title | The Working Processes of Bi-Regional Intergovernmental Organizations |
| Summary | Founded on the grounds to create deeper cooperation between regions through dialogues, projects, and activities, bi-regional intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) are aimed to create a sustained impact on the citizens and civil societies of their respective Member States. This dissertation argues that the prevalence of soft laws in the institutional design of bi-regional IGOs is a catalyst in the effective achievement of such institutional goals. To verify this, it investigates the working processes of two recently established bi-regional organizations: the European Union-Latin America and the Caribbean Foundation (EU-LAC Foundation) and the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM). Findings unveil that the objectives of the strategic partnerships and summit declarations, albeit non-binding, are translated into concrete actions, through the projects and activities of the bi-regional IGOs. However, it is important to note that the strong political will of the members is a necessity for projects and activities to be implemented in the bi-regional cooperation space. |
