Europe is in a process of searching for its own and autonomous role to renew its position in the international system. For its part, Latin America has developed politically as a mixture of Europe and the Third World; it has a dual character that has allowed it to become a kind of international middle class but also a certain degree of isolation. The underlying question is whether it is appropriate to think towards the future in a special relationship between Europe and Latin America, which, placing the emphasis on the community of Western values, allows the development of those forms of bonding that until now have never been stimulated, and on this basis, start the search for a complementary international role that allows both regions to break international deadlock.
