E-mail: [email protected] Field: International Relations Paper prepared for presentation at the V Congreso Latinoamericano de Ciencia Política, organized by Asociación Latinoamericana de Ciencia Política (ALACIP). Buenos Aires, July 28- 30, 2010 Abstract This paper proposes to look back at the evolution of the so called Inter-American System since its first manifestations in the first half of the 19th century in order to shed some light on current developments. Some explanations that may have led to the current atmosphere of deterioration of this system are proposed. Additionally, it intends to assess what this deterioration means and what practical consequences it may bring. The conclusion is that the recent events are in fact symptom of a broader historical phenomenon of increasingly decline of the Inter-American System and if the present posture is maintained this decline tends to get steeper overtime.

" Attending the LL-L2 November Conference in Luxembourg, in addition to Mr. Cheysson, were the Foreign Ministers of the 10 E.C.

  • The European Union's Policy Towards Mercosur
    towards Mercosur towards policy Union’s The European EPRU The European Union’s policy towards Mercosur European Series Policy This book provides a distinctive and empirically rich account of the European Research Union’s (EU’s) relationship with the Common Market of the South (Mercosur). It seeks to examine the motivations that determine the EU’s policy towards Unit Mercosur, the most important relationship the EU has with another regional Series economic integration organization. In order to investigate these motivations (or lack thereof), this study The European examines the contribution of the main policy- and decision-makers, the European Commission and the Council of Ministers, as well as the different contributions of the two institutions. It analyses the development of EU policy towards Mercosur in relation to three key stages: non-institutionalized Union’s policy relations (1986–1990), official relations (1991–1995), and the negotiations for an association agreement (1996–2004 and 2010–present). Arana argues that the dominant explanations in the literature fail to towards adequately explain the EU’s policy – in particular, these accounts tend to infer the EU’s motives from its activity. Drawing on extensive primary documents, the book argues that the major developments in the relationship were initiated by Mercosur and supported mainly by Spain. Rather than Mercosur the EU pursuing a strategy, as implied by most of the existing literature, the EU was largely responsive, which explains why the relationship is much less developed than the EU’s relations with other parts of the world. The European Union’s policy towards Mercosur will benefit academics and Responsive not strategic postgraduate students of European Union Foreign Affairs, inter-regionalism Gomez Arana and Latin American regionalism.

  • New Approaches to Migration Management in Mexico and Central America by Francisco Alba and Manuel Ángel Castillo the Regional Migration Study Group
    THE REGIONAL MIGRATION STUDY GROUP NEW APPROACHES TO MIGRATION ManaGEMENT IN MEXICO anD CENTRAL AMERICA By Francisco Alba and Manuel Ángel Castillo THE REGIONAL MIGRATION STUDY GrOUP NEW APPROACHES TO MIGRATION ManaGEMENT IN MEXICO anD CENTRAL AMERICA Francisco Alba and Manuel Ángel Castillo El Colegio de México October 2012 Acknowledgments While the two authors share responsibility for the contents of this report, Francisco Alba assumes a greater share of responsibility for the analysis on Mexico and Manuel Ángel Castillo does so for the Central American country case studies. Both authors’ exchange of ideas and discussion are reflected to a greater degree in the sections covering the repercussions of Mexico’s law on migration and the discussion of regional migration issues. This research has been made possible through the generous support of the Tinker Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Open Society Foundations. This report was produced for the October 2011 meeting of the Regional Migration Study Group convened by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) and the Latin American Program of the Woodrow Wilson Center. The Study Group, a three-year initiative, will act as a virtual think tank to the policymakers and civil-society officials in the United States, Mexico, and Central America who manage day-to-day migration relations and other issues related to human capital and global competitiveness.

  • Central America's Recent Development
    ANNEX: CENTRAL AMERICA’S RECENT DEVELOPMENT _____________________________________________________________________________ CENTRAL AMERICA’S RECENT DEVELOPMENT Following is a brief description of how development, in its diverse aspects, has taken place within the Central American context throughout the most recent decades, with a view to more clearly understand the needs to transform and modernize the economies and societies of the region. PEACE AND DEMOCRACY During the eighties Central America was immersed in the deepest crisis of its history. Combined with the economic situation – which will be discussed in the following section – the fragility of the democratic processes in some of the countries, and the armed confrontations in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, affected the region as a whole. The deterioration of social conditions and of economic development, as well as setbacks in the regional integration process, produced tensions between the States, and massive migratory movements occurred within and outside Central America. The “lost decade” for the entire Latin American region superimposed itself over the accumulated historical gaps and the political, social and economic roots of the Central American situation. The confrontation between the great powers involved Central America in their disputes. In spite of the above, at the beginning of 1983, a Latin American initiative took place to seek pacific solutions to the Central American conflicts. The Contadora Group - integrated by the governments of Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia and Panama - to which the Support Group, comprised of Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Uruguay, was added later on, headed it. These initiatives highlighted the linkage between the pacification and democratization processes and the vision of inter- dependence between peace and development.

The Contadora Group, named after a Panamanian island, was formed in January 1983 by the Presidents of Colombia, Mexico, Panama and Venezuela with the aim of seeking a peaceful settlement to the Central American conflicts. The four Contadora countries are not directly involved in the conflicts but, given their geographical location, are particularly concerned about the crisis in the region. The five countries most directly involved are Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica. The governments of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica <which has no army and tries to remain neutral> tend in varying degrees to be close to United States pol icy in the region. The two principal armed conflicts in the region are: <1> In El Salvador, between the government and anti-Government forces. <In mid-October 1984, a first meeting between the two sides at the initiative of President Duarte represented a very significant step towards a negotiated settlement>; <2> In Nicaragua, between the Government and rebels - the so-called 'contras' based principally in Honduras and Costa Rica and who receive backing from the United States. There is also an armed conflict between the Government and rebels in Guatemala. 2. Following a number of meetings at foreign minister level, the Presidents of the Contadora countries met at Cancun in Mexico in July 1983 and adopted the so-called Cancun Declaration, which was duly ratified by the countries concerned at the end of September 1983.
