Deeply-embedded norms of liberalism and protectionism alongside EU policies focusing on promoting development and regional integration have shaped EU-Mercosur relations. These stand in stark contrast to the policies of the US, the historic hegemon in the region. This paper utilizes historical institutionalism to understand how the liberal tenets of EU competition policy and the protectionism of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) have affected EU-Mercosur relations. Particular foci include Spain's role in spearheading efforts to promote EU-Latin American relations and the way EU competition policies directed against monopolies in Europe spurred increased investment in Latin America, especially the Southern Cone. The latter prompted the EU to forge closer ties with Mercosur, encouraged cooperation and development programs and spurred regional integration and liberal trade regimes in Latin America.

The article deals with the growing ethnic militancy in Latin America which runs counter to the cross-cultural policies promoted until recently by the various native groups. In spite of appearances, this turn to identity politics does not lead so much to a communitarian withdrawal than to a demand for participation to the making of decisions which affect the future of native societies within multicultural nations. Adapted from the source document.

Latin America underwent a process of syncretism that extended deep into the culture, politics, economics and institutions; but more relevant in its science and philosophy so. The Americans have had to live with the permanent reconstruction of their civilizational bases, such as its art, culture and identity. But above all the need to rescue their philosophy and science. Geopolitics as a science responsible for the relationship of the state and space of political interest, in order to get more influence and better positioning, has directed its actions toward Latin America, practicing in the contemporary period ideological actions have wanted to establish using the fractures in the philosophical and scientific positioning of the region; to establish by means of ideas as a means of domination. Among the prominent global currents of contemporary thought that have had some influence in the region are: Proposal of Capitalist Development, Proposal for Socialist Development, Liberation Theology and concludes with the Proposal Latin American Development, followed by all critical argument against. But the pursuit of its own paradigm Latin America continues and is determined by the regional union, which is seen as the medium of exchange, integrator and innovator of the social system, which it will allow a regional geopolitical exercise, identified with reality and the service of the integral development. These elements always live in Latin America, are important to keep the path in search of our philosophy and identity. ; Latinoamérica sufrió un proceso de sincretismo trascendental en la cultura, la política, la economía, la institucionalidad y de manera relevante, en su ciencia y filosofía. Los americanos conviven con la reconstrucción de sus bases civilizatorias, como: el arte, la cultura e identidad. Pero, sobre todo con la necesidad de rescate de su filosofía y su ciencia. La geopolítica, ciencia encargada de la relación del estado y el espacio de interés político, on el objetivo de conseguir más influencia y mejor posicionamiento, direccionó acciones hacia Latinoamérica, queriendo instaurarse ideológicamente, valiéndose de las fracturas en el posicionamiento filosófico y científico regional para establecerse por medio de las ideas como un medio de dominación. Entre las corrientes prominentes de pensamiento contemporáneo que han ejercido influencia en la región, se encuentran: Propuesta de Desarrollo Capitalista, Propuesta de Desarrollo Socialista, Teología de la Liberación y se concluye con la Propuesta de Desarrollo Latinoamericano, seguidas de su contra argumento crítico. Sin embargo, la búsqueda del propio paradigma Latinoamérica sigue, y está determinado por la unión regional, la cual se vislumbra como el medio de cambio, integrador y a la vez, renovador del sistema social que permitirá un ejercicio geopolítico regional, identificado con la realidad y al servicio del desarrollo.Estos elementos siempre vivos en Latinoamérica, son importantes para mantener la senda de búsqueda de nuestra filosofía e identidad.
