| Summary: | Relations between Latin America and the countries of the European Union have traditionally been strong. The cultural and economic ties that have historically linked the two regions have gradually been transformed opening up new spaces for cooperation and development. Since the consolidation of the EU, this relationship has become stronger and changed with Europe’s recognition of Latin America as a region, as an important partner in economic and political terms, and within it, of each country in accordance with its level of development. Latin America has to an ever greater extent ceased being an aid recipient and begun to establish relationships of reciprocity, which offer great potential for expansion in the future. However, poverty remains the major concern of European policy toward the region. The authors, in their analysis, also focus on the possible consequences for Latin America of future EU enlargement toward the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. |
