Adolescent Error or Stunning Insight? (Part 2)

For some in Brussels the words "Latin America" still conjure up an image of basket-case economies, but the message from a recent high-level conference in the EU capital was loud and clear: ignore this region at your peril.
...the article begins. The irony, however that it’s Europe that conjures up that image now.

And with good reason, because they go on to discuss European engagement with latin America as if it was territory to be conquered away from China and the US. The all too typical tone is insulting.
