Latin America-European Union relations in the twenty-first century
provides a valuable overview of transatlantic trade agreement
negotiations and developments in the first decades of the
twenty-first century. This edited collection examines key
motivations behind trade agreements, traces the evolution of
negotiations and explores some of the initial impacts of new
generation trade agreements with the EU on South American
countries. The book makes an important contribution to our
understanding of relations between these regions by contextualising
relations and trade agendas, both in terms of domestic political
and economic policies and broader global trends. It demonstrates
the importance of a shift toward mega-regional trade agreements in
the 2010s, particularly under the Obama administration in the
United States, in shaping South American and European agendas for
trade agreement negotiations and their outcomes. Detailed case
studies in the book investigate EU relations and negotiations with
countries that have successfully negotiated new generation trade
agreements with the EU: Mercosur, the Andean states, Chile and
Mexico. Other contributions offer a wider overview of EU-Latin
American relations, including parliamentary and civil society
relations. The net result is a balanced analysis of contemporary EU
relations with South America, useful for students and scholars of
foreign policy and political economy in both regions. -- .
This book provides a distinctive and empirically rich account of
the European Union's relationship with the Common Market of the
South (Mercosur). It seeks to examine the motivations that
determine the EU's policy towards Mercosur; the most important
relationship the EU has with another regional economic integration
organization. In order to investigate these motivations (or lack
thereof), this study examines the contribution of the main policy-
and decision-makers, the European Commission and the Council of
Ministers, as well as the different contributions of the two
institutions. It analyses the development of EU policy towards
Mercosur in relation to three key stages. Arana argues that the
dominant explanations in the literature fail to adequately explain
the EU's policy, in particular, these accounts tend to infer the
EU's motives from its activity. Rather than the EU pursuing a
strategy, as implied by most of the existing literature, the EU was
largely responsive, which explains why the relationship is much
less developed than the EU's relations with other parts of the
world. -- .
