Latin America & Caribbean / Book

Is the politicial dialogue between the European Union and Latin America useful?

01/09/2007 By Christian Freres, Susanne Gratius

In this book, different authors analyse, from its beginning in the 1980s until now, the results of the political dialogue between the European Union and Latin America.

Following some theoretical remarks on the progress and constraints of regionalism and interregionalism, two chapters draw a critical balance of the regional, subregional and bilateral political dialogue fora. A fourth chapter compares the European-Latin American dialogue with similar mechanisms.

Chapter 5 analyses the most relevant political conflicts in European-Latin American relaciones. Finally, several scenarios and concrete propolsals with regards to the future of relations between Latin America and the EU are designed.
