Abstract

The ties between Latin America and Great Britain have not been close. However, since the end of the last decade there has been a growing interest from Great Britain in the region. To understand this new trend, this paper first analyzes the antecedents of Anglo-Latin American relations since 1930. Then, the various signs that show this reorientation are examined: the respective official visits, the presence of the Latin American issue in British parliamentary debates and the strengthening of economic ties, among others. Finally, the limitations or other areas of concern of British diplomacy that condition this approach are mentioned. In conclusion, it is suggested that Great Britain's interest in Latin America will continue to the extent that this region consolidates the political and economic reforms that it is carrying out.
