ABSTRACT
This chapter seeks to understand the role of Europe and Latin America in the post-Cold War geopolitical order, the order of globalized militarization, keeping in mind two premises: the regions are not homogeneous at all, and the relations between them have changed deeply since the 1990s. It deals with the implication of the new post-Cold War geopolitical order for Latin America and Europe. The Euro-Latin American interregionalism is perhaps one of the best examples of the consequences of the new geopolitical order in the world. The foreign policy of the EU explored soft power as a means to struggle for primacy in the world geopolitical order. Interregionalism does not function indiscriminately all over the world from the EU, but rather in relation to other organized regions: Latin America and the Caribbean are without a doubt the first serious EU’s attempt to construct an interregional conglomerate.
