Australia – Latin America: Opportunities and Challenges of Cooperation in the 21st Century

In the first quarter of the XXI century there the system of international relations was changed. Bipolar and unipolar systems have been replaced by multipolarity - the coexistence of different centers of power, when developing countries and regions find their place in the global world. Under these conditions, interregional dialogue began to acquire special significance. Australia and Latin America are looking for the new political partners and new markets. This article shows the evolution of relations between regions in the 2000s and 2010s. Based on the analysis of official state documents, statistics, documents of non-profit organizations, expert assessments, the article considers new mechanisms of cooperation and identifies the main problems and challenges of interaction between the two regions.
