| Description | The influence of the EU in the proliferation of Latin American integration schemes is shallow at best and reactive at worst. As a matter of fact, the Americas were the first region in modern history to seek – consciously – to translate the geographical concept of 'region' into a political reality. And this 'regionalist' drive was intended as an answer to a perceived threat from Europe. Symbols of this search are two founding initiatives: the US President James Monroe's declaration of 1823 and Simon Bolivar's convening of the Amphictyonic Congress of Panama in 1826. Both acts have many political subtexts, but they have a common ground: to guarantee the security of the newly independent American states against the threat of further attempts by European powers to colonize territory in the Americas or to reconquer their former colonies.1 Book Name: Interregionalism and the European Union |
