This inception paper expatiates on the conditions that are necessary in determining the effectiveness of the European Union's (the EU's) leadership in science and cultural diplomacy (SCD) on regionalism and inter-regionalism in the South. These conditions include willingness, capacity and acceptance. Willingness delineates the scope of the ambition of the EU in SCD. Capacity covers elements that pertain to breadth and depth/ quality and quantity of resources mobilized and available to lead SCD that delivers results. Acceptance refers to the nature of the credibility that the EU is able to command both within and outside the Union respecting its influence to attract followers both amongst Member States of the Union as well as third states, regional and international organizations. The emphasis of the paper is on effectiveness in terms of impact on regionalism and inter-regionalism in the South. Focus is placed on regional and inter-regional processes/ initiatives in Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America.

The birregional strategic partnership between the EU and LAC initiated in 1999, has evolved to adapt to both; changes in the global context and the restructuring of power, and changes in regional integration processes that have altered the balance and nature of the relationship. Currently the EU and LAC have multiple levels of relationship - inter-regional, trans-regional and sub-regional - comprising a heterogeneous set of actors in a complex interregionalism scheme, surpassing the traditional categories of the studies on nterregionalism. ; La Asociación estratégica birregional entre la UE y ALC iniciada en 1999, ha evolucionado para adaptarse tanto los cambios en el contexto global y la re-estructuración del poder, como a transformaciones en los procesos de integración regional que han alterado el equilibrio y la naturaleza de la relación. Actualmente la UE y ALC tienen múltiples niveles de relación –global, inter-regional, transregional y sub-regional– abarcando un conjunto de actores heterogéneos en un esquema de interregionalismo complejo, que sobrepasa las categorías tradicionales de los estudios sobre interregionalismo.
