The European Community has long been the largest trading bloc in the world. It is also on the way to becoming the world's largest integrated economic zone. Its trade, aid and development cooperation policies are therefore of great importance to developing countries. At the same time, the developing countries have continued to be of interest to the Community, both as outlets for its exports and capital investments and as sources of raw materials. This 1993 book analyses and evaluates European Community trade, aid and industrial policies towards developing countries - their origin, main features, logic, evolution and effectiveness in reaching the goals assigned to them. The author sums up the state of Europe's development policies by describing them as regional in scope, colonial in geographical emphasis, discriminatory in their effects and lacking in overall cogency. This incisive re-evaluation illustrates the different strategies the EC countries might pursue in their relations with the outside world as they progress towards fuller economic integration.
The European Community and Latin America profiles the power and goals of the European Community and examines the Community's past relations with Latin America and the techniques for their management. Factors significant for this relationship's future are analyzed: the global setting; the two regions' internal conditions; the potential of each to meet the other's needs; and the procedures for handling interregional affairs. Attention is given to the political/security interests of the two regions and the attractiveness, to each, of closer relations with other parts of the world.
After two long decades of negotiations, the EU and Mercosur countries finalised an Association Agreement, the first agreement between regional trading blocs, in 2019. If the agreement is ratified, the Southern Cone countries will join the Andean states, Mexico and Chile in subscribing trade agreements securing their economic relations with the European Union. This collection by renowned experts on EU-Latin American relations explains the challenges surrounding modern trade agreement negotiations between the EU and South American states. It shows how international pressures and geo-economic balancing against the United States and neighbours, as well as other aspects of the broader EU-Latin American relations, have played a key role in shaping the timing and outcomes of negotiations, and in aiding negotiators to overcome divergent viewpoints, at a time when trade policies are becoming increasingly politicised and contested.
