The future of Euro-American relations

The future evolution of the EU requires a study of scenarios on the relations of Europe with North and South Americas. Globalization is creating a need for world governability and a future strengthening of USA-EU relations. Furthermore, the world economy is moving in the direction of a Single Market, and suggests the need for a North-Atlantic Free Trade Area. For Latin America, the movement towards futures integration with the USA in the framework of a Free Trade Area of the Americas, points to the need of an equilibrium based in an institutional process of stronger relations with the EU, including steps like the recently promoted free-trade agreement between Mexico and the EU and the future agreement EU-Mercosur.
