摘要

This article reviews the history and present situation of the relations between the European Union and Colombia in its political and economic dimensions. It analyzes the way in which the position of the EU has stayed constant as far as considering that the Colombian conflicts are caused by the inequalities and the poverty, in spite of the pressures of the United States, that have defended more unilateralist and military positions on the matter, positions with that some communitarian partners have even aligned themselves. In front of previous studies, it is pleaded explicitly for a balance that insists on the positive and constructive aspects, coherent with a scene in process of creation and extension, like the European one, although without resigning to value it from a critical perspectiva. Este art赤culo revisa la historia y situaci車n actual de las relaciones Uni車n Europea- Colombia en sus dimensiones pol赤tica y econ車mica. Analiza el modo en que la posici車n de la UE se ha mantenido constante en cuanto a su consideraci車n de que los conflictos en el pa赤s andino se deben a las desigualdades y la pobreza, a pesar de las presiones de Estados Unidos, que ha defendido posturas m芍s unilateralistas y militares al respecto, e incluso de que algunos socios comunitarios se hayan alineado con ellas. Frente a estudios anteriores se aboga expl赤citamente por un balance que haga hincapi谷 en los aspectos positivos y constructivos, coherentes con los de un escenario en proceso de creaci車n y ampliaci車n como es el europeo, aunque sin renunciar a valorarlo con una perspectiva cr赤tica.
