Bridging two regions bound by history and shared geopolitical pressures — covering Southern Europe’s Mediterranean dynamics and Latin America’s evolving role in a fragmented, multipolar world order.
About
Research Fellow,
Praevisio Institute
Luca Rossi is a Research Fellow at the Praevisio Institute for Geopolitical Affairs, specialising in Mediterranean geopolitics and the political economy of Latin America within an increasingly fragmented multipolar order. He brings a distinctly Southern European vantage point to both regions — one shaped by direct exposure to the pressures of migration, energy dependence, and great power competition that define the Mediterranean basin.
His Latin America research focuses on how regional powers — Brazil, Mexico, Argentina — are navigating the competing pulls of Washington, Beijing, and their own domestic political cycles, as the post–Cold War hemispheric consensus continues to dissolve. He pays particular attention to how economic vulnerability and ideological fragmentation interact with external influence.
Alongside his analytical work, Luca has spent years as a freelance Spanish teacher and language consultant, giving him sustained immersion in Hispanophone political culture across Europe and Latin America that informs the texture of his research.

Areas of focus — and the analytical work behind them
Luca’s research rests on a conviction that the Mediterranean and Latin America are analytically complementary rather than separate fields — both are regions where the post–Cold War liberal order has frayed earliest and most visibly, where external powers compete for influence through economic leverage and institutional presence, and where domestic political volatility amplifies geopolitical exposure. Fluent in Italian, Spanish, and English, with reading knowledge of Portuguese and French, he accesses primary sources across both regions without translation loss. His years of freelance work — as analyst, writer, and Spanish teacher — have kept him embedded in the lived political cultures of the Hispanophone world in a way that purely academic careers rarely allow.
