Abstract
El apoyo a la integración y el regionalismo es uno de los rasgos distintivos del diálogo político y cooperación entre la UE y América Latina y el Caribe. Este artículo examina la racionalidad, objetivos e instrumentos de apoyo de la UE al regionalismo y la integración latinoamericana y, en particular, los incentivos generados por los Acuerdos de Asociación y el papel de la cooperación regional y subregional. Aunque han sido instrumentos efectivos, la falta de cohesión interna de los grupos regionales de América Latina y los problemas de coherencia de políticas de la UE han limitado su impacto y efectividad. A partir de las enseñanzas extraidas de esa experiencia, se propone una estrategia ampliada de apoyo para el nuevo ciclo de programación de la cooperación de la UE del periodo 2014-2020.
Support for integration and regionalism is one of the hallmarks of the EU-LAC political dialogue and cooperation. This article examines the rationale, objectives and instruments of EU support to regionalism and Latin American integration, emphasizing in the incentives generated by Association Agreements, and the role played by regional and subregional EU aid programs. Although they have been effective instruments, lack of internal cohesion of regional groups in Latin America and policy coherence problems in the EU have limited their impact and effectiveness. From the lessons learned from that experience, we propose an enhanced support strategy for the new programming cycle of EU cooperation for the period 2014-2020.
