Abstract
La llamada "primavera árabe" ilusionó a muchos analistas europeos y estadounidenses, pero con el paso de los años se ha podido observar qué es lo que ha quedado de todo el cambio radical. La Unión Europea no ha sabido aprovechar la ocasión para fortalecer sus acuerdos de asociación con los países del norte de África e incrementar así su influencia. El afán de Rusia por volver a ser un actora tener en cuenta en términos globales ha encontrado en los resultados de esta "primavera" la ventana de oportunidades propicia para ganar más influencia en la región e incrementar su presencia en la zona, de forma especial llegando a acuerdos sobre venta de armas, hidrocarburos y centrales nucleares, además del fortalecimiento de los vínculos comerciales, turísticos o culturales.
The so-called "Arab Spring" was a wonderful idea for many European and US analysts, but over the years it has been observed what remains of all the radical changes. The European Union has failed to take the opportunity to strengthen its partnerships with the countries of North Africa and increase its influence. The Russia's desire of being a global actor found a favorable window of opportunities in the region once the results of such Spring were obvious. Russia has increased its presence and influence in the region through the signing of different agreements in particular on military sales, energy and nuclear plants, in addition to the strengthening of trade, tourism and cultural ties.
