"The author explores in her chapter the EU external policies with regard to EU-Mercosur relations. Due to deeply embedded norms of both liberalism and protectionism and as a result of EU's promotion of both development and regional integration, EU policy towards Mercosur marks a stark contrast to the policy of the USA in this region. This contribution applies historical institutionalism in order to comprehend how liberal tenants of EU competition policy as well as the protectionism of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) have shaped the EU-Mercosur relationship. In particular, Spain's aspirations in promoting EU-Latin American relations and the contribution of the EU's competition policy with regard to the Southern Cone, will be examined." (author's abstract)
