| Abstract | To answer the question of how Europeans formulate their policy towards Latin America, in a way that makes it comparable to policy towards other regions, it is necessary to bring back the focus of analysis to the national level for it is there that most of the EU’s foreign relations originate. However, this has to be done while keeping in mind that member states have become ever more entangled within the EU. Building from the literature on europeanization, this book chapter proposes an analytical framework based on three types of relations between the EU and the national level, “upload”, “download” and “sideways” europeanizaton, to answer two specific questions: 1) What has been the dominant process of each member state’s policy towards Latin America in relation to the EU’s: “upload” “download” or “sideways” europeanization?; 2) How has this occurred and varied over time and policy areas? This chapter is devoted to establish the common conceptual framework that will be the basis for the case studies that constitute an edited book. To do so, it is divided into two sections. The first section situates this study in relation to the existing literature, at the intersection of three strands of academic work: europeanization, European foreign policy and relations between Europe and Latin America. It analyzes each one in turn, and presents the concepts borrowed from them to build the analytical framework. The second section addresses some methodological issues and explains how this study intends to deal with them. It then outlines with more precision the variables and hypotheses to be highlighted by the case studies so as to facilitate a structured comparison that helps develop the conceptual and theoretical tools further. |
