Abstract
The historical relation between the European Community (EC) and Latin America can be further explored and clarified through the introduction of a particular catalyser simultaneously linked to both world regions, which constituted its main foreign relations priorities, despite some discontinuities in its diplomatic orientations. This catalytic agent would be Spain, a player that, through the evolution of its national interests, also created new links with third countries and supranational organizations, as in the case of its progressive role in the consolidation of an EU-Latin America Partnership. From this perspective, this case study will allow the exploration at once of the European foreign policy-shaping influence of a current EU member state before and after its accession, as well as the overarching interdependencies increasingly connecting the Community with global actors.
