Abstract
La Unión Europea y América Latina y el Caribe cuentan con un importante acervo de relaciones políticas y económicas, a través de una red de Acuerdos de Asociación que ha sido el objetivo de la estrategia interregional desplegada desde los años noventa. Un escenario de crisis de globalización y contestación del sistema multilateral, al que se suma la crisis de la COVID-19, somete esas relaciones a nuevas tensiones. Este artículo examina el estado actual de la “Asociación estratégica birregional” y plantea posibles bases para su renovación frente a un escenario de creciente competencia geopolítica. Se argumenta que para ser relevante la UE debe promover una agenda centrada en las prioridades de las sociedades de ambas regiones guiada por la Agenda 2030 de Desarrollo Sostenible y el European Green Deal, frente a la competencia geopolítica y a las políticas de poder de grandes potencias como Estados Unidos y China
The European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean have an important acquis of political and economic relations, through a network of Association Agreements that has been the goal of the interregional strategy deployed since the 1990s. A scenario of crisis of globalization and contestation of the multilateral system, as well as the crisis of COVID-19, put these relations into new strains. This article examines the current state of the "Bi-regional Strategic Association" and raises possible bases for its renewal in the face of a scenario of increasing geopolitical competition. It is argued that to be relevant, the EU must promote an agenda focused on the priorities of the societies of both regions guided by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the European Green Deal, in the face of geopolitical competition and power policies of great powers like the United States and China.
