Europe and the Americas: An Atlantic triangle at last?
11/05/2010
Author : Fundacion para las Relaciones Internacionales y el Dialogo Exterior (FRIDE - Spain)
 
The aim of forming an Atlantic triangle is nothing new; it responds to the long-standing aspirations of politicians and academics. Despite these two groups sharing the same values, little progress has been made in the area. However, the international economic crisis may prove to be a turning point in their relations due to the key changes it has brought; changes that have given greater importance to relations between the EU, US and Latin America. However, all three actors have domestic problems which may stand in the way of triangular cooperation.

The EU is focused on the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty and on overcoming the financial crisis; the United States is going through a period of change symbolised by Obama’s arrival at the White House; while Latin America still needs to find its Its own voice.
