En busca de sentido para el proceso iberoamericano. Entre el ocaso y la reforma | ||
in Nueva Sociedad , n. 250 , 2014 | ||
The Ibero-American process finds itself in a precarious situation, reflected by the absence of many Latin American presidents in recent summits. Beyond this formal syndrome, the Ibero-American relationship is profoundly wounded by the lack of consistent political projects, and the reduction of the relationship to cultural identity. Additionally the competition with European-Latin American summits has stolen much of the attraction of the Ibero-American process. However, the true challenge lies in making it less Spanish, independent from the ups and downs of internal Spanish politics and in generating a basis beyond the thin cultural base, which does not sustain an Ibero-American political presence in international relations. | ||
