Problems of Latin American Security and its Implications for Europe: A German Perspective. Jean Monnet/Robert Schuman Paper Series, Vol. 4 No. 11, October 2004

摘要

In this general context the present paper will ask the following questions: • What are the central positions of German foreign policy regarding Latin America, and what importance is given to Latin America in German foreign policy? Are there any particular security concerns? • Are there substantial differences in the perception of security threats in the Western Hemisphere between the German government and Latin American governments or the United States administration? • Are there differences in the instruments and strategies chosen to confront these security threats? • Is there a common European foreign policy towards Latin America, and if so, can particular German interests or contributions be found in it?
