The EU's performance in Latin America's fight against drugs and related organized crime [Recurso electrónico]

By: Material type: ArticleSubject(s): Online resources: In: Global Affairs Global Affairs . -- Vol. 2, No. 5 (2016), p. 527-537Summary: The European Union (EU) adopted a generous interregional approach towards Latin America over the last decades. In fact, EU foreign policy towards Latin America is almost exclusively focused on purely region-to-region interaction and active support to the various (sub-)regional integration efforts. Latin America is seen as the part of the world where the EU’s interregional agenda should bear the most fruit, since it shares the same values as the EU (democracy, human rights, nuclear non-proliferation and multilateralism) and has a strong will to counter its strong ties with the US. However, even though the EU adopted the same interregional strategy across different policy areas, the level of interregional interaction (and success) vary significantly. This paper argues that in the area of non-traditional security governance, the EU’s Latin American’s interregional approach has been successful in achieving its own-set goals, however, it has not been able to enable a considerable impact on the situation on the ground.
