The most recent expression of this was the European Parliament's (EP) plenary debate on enhancing EU's external action in Latin America and the Caribbean following the latest EU-LAC ministerial conference on 19 January 2021. The Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (HR/VP) Josep Borrell made a plea not to forget the 'other' Transatlantic relationship, between Europe and the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, pointing to what he described as the 'dense network of institutional relations' between the two regions and the EU's status as Latin America's third largest trading partner and as the leading source of foreign investment. Further, he highlighted the agreement between the two regions on the need to 'defend multilateralism' and to tackle the COVID-19 health crisis and its economic and social consequences through advancing towards a more sustainable and 'greener' development model, noting the two region's potential as an international 'standard-setter'. The HR/VP highlighted in particular EU-LAC cooperation on environmental issues and climate policies, and on the digital agenda. On the first issue, he noted that Latin America is home to 50% of the world’s biodiversity and stressed the importance of the Amazon for the whole planet. Referring to a new EU initiative to address the 'drivers of deforestation of the Amazon' and the forthcoming COP26, scheduled to take place in November 2021, he stated to need to step up ambitions on climate issues. On the digital agenda, he underlined the need to promote 'digital alliances' to create more opportunities to people through digital technologies, facilitating knowledge and exchanges of information. On a more political note, the HR/VP observed that a strong presence in Latin America and the Caribbean was necessary for the EU if it wanted to be a 'geopolitical power' and if the EU did not reinforce its relations with the region, others would do so. While the HR/VP found that the cooperation between two regions was on the 'right track', he insisted in the need to 'go quicker' and 'speed up' the relationship. In this regard, he made a strong plea to the EP to proceed with the ratification of the modernised 'Global Agreement' with Mexico, the forthcoming modernised agreement with Chile and the Association Agreement with Mercosur. Arguing that it is not possible to 'want to engage', to be 'best partners' and to work together with Latin America and not ratify these agreements, the HR/VP asked the Parliament to 'put on all the pressure' to reinvigorate the relations with Latin America, to 'take seriously' the ratification of the agreements with Mexico and Chile and to 'look for a solution' that will permit ratify the agreement with Mercosur. Finally, the HR/VP expressed his wish for a summit with Latin America and the Caribbean to be held in 2021, stating that it was not reasonable that there had been no summit since 2015. The debate in plenary demonstrated broad political support for a stronger EU-LAC relationship and the revitalisation of the partnership between the two regions. Members stressed the need for enhanced cooperation between them to promote multilateral action to address global challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, but also to promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law, as well as to reduce social inequalities. Many speakers emphasised the fundamental strategic importance for the EU of the alliance with Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as of promoting a green and digital transition towards more sustainable societies. Several members shared the HR/VP's insistence on the importance of ratifying the agreements with Mexico, Mercosur and Chile. The start of the recent efforts to build political momentum behind an enhanced EU engagement with Latin America and the Caribbean could be said to be the meeting of Foreign Affairs Council on 12 October 2/28 2020, which held an exchange of views on Latin America and the Caribbean. According to the Council, the discussion highlighted a 'shared sense of urgency on the need to relaunch the inter-regional dialogue', given the economic and geopolitical importance of the region for Europe. Discussing the best way to revitalise inter-regional relations, ministers expressed their readiness to pursue 'ambitious environmental and digital policies' with their LAC partners. Following the Council meeting, the HR/VP has reiterated the goal of strengthening EU-LAC ties on various occasions. One example is the comment published on the HR/VPs blog on 19 October under the title 'Latin America-Europe: the 'other' transatlantic relationship'. In this, Borrell noted that although Europe and Latin America in many respects are the most like-minded people in the world, the interactions between the two regions remained 'well below their potential' and that the attention given to LAC by the EU was not proportionate to the region's importance. As a result of this, and the absence of a summit since 2015, he observed a 'growing sense of neglect' in Latin America, while at the same time other international players, particularly the USA and China, were moving forward. The HR/VP looked forward to the EU- Mercosur Association Agreement as a 'game changer' despite the opposition to its ratification and the 'legitimate concerns' in this respect because of its the geopolitical significance, allowing both regions to cope better with the growing US-China confrontation and avoid 'strategic subordination' and because it should be seen as a 'lever for a change in production and consumption models'. In a similar comment, this time published as a HR/VP video blog on 22 December 2020, Borrell stated that the time had come to 'talk about Latin America and put it more on the radar and on the agenda of the EU'. Characterising the absence of a summit for more than five years as an 'anomaly' in the relations between Europe and Latin America, he remarked that the December 2020 informal ministerial meeting was particularly important as it marked a point of reunion and opened up ways of improving cooperation and political dialogue. Referring to close cultural and historical ties, common values and Latin America's 'enormous growth potential', he said that if Europe wanted to have influence and to be a geopolitical actor, it had to pay much more attention to Latin America and the Caribbean. Again, the HR/VP put sustainable development at the heart of EU-LAC cooperation, stating that agreements such as the EU-Mercosur Association Agreement was the best way to ensure sustainable climate and environmental policies, defend biodiversity and fight against deforestation. In this respect, he underlined the need for political will to give legitimate satisfaction to the concerns of both sides. The HR/VP also reiterated the hope that a bi-regional summit could take place in 2021. The informal EU-LAC ministerial meeting on 14 December 2020 that took place in semi-remote mode in Berlin gave further impetus to the revitalisation of the inter-regional partnership. The meeting was attended by 49 foreign ministers together with, among others, two European Commissioners (Vice President and Commissioner for Trade Valdis Dombrovskis and the Commissioner for International Partnerships Jutta Urpilainen) the Executive Secretary of the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Alicia Bárcena, representatives of the European Investment Bank (EIB), the EU- LAC Foundation and the Co-presidents of the EuroLat Parliamentary Assembly. It was the firstsuch meeting in more than two years. The meeting was chaired jointly by the HR/VP and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Heiko Maas, from the rotating presidency of the Council As a first point in the comprehensive joint communiqué from the meeting, ministers affirmed the intention to step up high-level bi-regional political dialogue and agreed to work towards a bi-regional summit. Another prominent point in the statement was the acknowledgement that 'strengthened and effective multilateral cooperation' is a necessity for a 'more equal, more resilient and more sustainable world'. In this regard, they stressed the central role of the UN and the efforts to make the UN 'more efficient and transparent, democratic, accountable and representative'. They also highlighted other initiatives in support of a rules-based multilateral order, such as the Alliance for Multilateralism.

Elemental Analysis of Colonial Period Ceramics from Moquegua, Peru by JOSHUA WACKETT Under the Direction of Nicola Sharratt, PhD ABSTRACT Recent scholarship demonstrates growth in archaeological analysis of Spanish colonial reducciones in Andean South America. Critical to understanding the impact of reducciones on indigenous populations is examining production and circulation of craft goods after Spanish conquest. Because it characterizes the elemental composition of archaeological pottery, Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA- ICP-MS) is an invaluable tool for examining resource procurement and long distance exchange. In this thesis, I report data derived from XRF and LA-ICP-MS analyses of pottery from two sites in the Moquegua Valley, Peru: Torata Alta and Sabaya. Both sites were founded during Inca control of the valley (c. 1450-1535) but were also occupied into the seventeenth century and have strong Spanish colonial components. Comparing the data with an existing ICP-MS database on locally available clays, I examine differential resource procurement as well as access to imported goods among indigenous and Spanish communities in early colonial Moquegua.

  • Archaeology, Language, and the Andean Past: Principles, Methods, and the New ‘State of the Art’
    BOLETÍN DE ARQUEOLOGÍA PUCP / N.° 14 / 2010, 29-60 / ISSN 1029-2004 Archaeology, Language, and the Andean Past: Principles, Methods, and the New ‘State of the Art’ Paul Heggartya & David G. Beresford-Jonesb Abstract This book emerges from the conference Lenguas y sociedades en el antiguo Perú: hacia un enfoque interdisciplinario, a gathering of linguists, archaeologists and anthropologists at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú in August 2009. This chapter sets out first the raison d’être of our enterprise: why it seemed so important to foster a meeting of minds between these disciplines, to converge their disparate but complementary perspectives into a more coherent Andean prehistory. Next, it is asked how linguistics can inform us about prehistory at all, exploring some general methodological principles and how they might be applied specifically in the case of the Andes. The ‘traditional model’ for associating the linguistic and archaeological records in the Andes is then reviewed — but pointing also to various inherent infelicities, which duly call for a far-reaching, interdisciplinary reconsideration of the Andean past. Therefore we attempt to sum up the new state of the cross-disciplinary art in Andean prehistory, as collectively represented by the papers that emerged both from the Lima conference and from the symposium that preceded it, held at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the University of Cambridge in September 2008. Progress and new perspectives are explored first on key individual questions. Who, for instance, were the Incas, and whence and when did they come to Cuzco? How and when did Quechua, too, reach Cuzco, as well as its furthest-flung outposts in north-west Argentina, Ecuador and northern Peru? Finally, the scope is broadened to overall scenarios for how the main Andean language families might correlate in time and space with the archaeological horizons that in principle might best account for their dispersals.

  • Program of Technical Assistance and Development of Human Capital to Promote the Cross-Border Productive Ecosystem of Arica - Tacna
    TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Program of Technical Assistance and Development of Human Capital to Promote the Cross-Border Productive Ecosystem of Arica - Tacna Introduction The effort of developmentand border integration of Peru with Chile during the past 20 years has made the improvementof the quality of life of the people of both countries a priority. The ecosystem Tacna (Peru) - Arica (Chile) is also a manifestation of this joint effort. In this context, several interventions have emerged, the most recent being INNOVACT (EU - CELAC), mostly promoted by regional and national governments, but also by private entities, and other stakeholders of the community. This proposal comes from universities of each border side, both public institutions, based on an academic relationship of many years with a clearly determined social role. This initiative considers concrete actions the further progress in the productive joint development border ecosystem of the Arica-Parinacota (Chile) region - and Tacna (Peru). This initiative, originated within the Euromipyme Project (ECLAC-EU), counts on the technical support of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and represents an important challenge for the Jorge BasadreGrohmann National University (UNJBG) (Tacna-Peru) and for the University of Tarapacá (UTA) (Arica-Chile). This initiative aims to promote and coordinate the integral development of the productive ecosystem of the macro region Arica - Tacna, with both public and private joint participation of stakeholders. It also proposes to facilitate dialogue between the participants of the ecosystem, and to develop associativity in their respective economic activities. In summary, the initiative seeks to identify, analyze, plan and address a series of actions based on the strengths of the Arica and Parinacota - Tacna macro zone, under an orderly and consensual concept, which allows to strengthen the conditions for the consolidation of the Arica -Tacna border system.
