Mexico and Europe: Evolution and Perspectives of a Multi-lineal Relationship

This article discusses the most significant breakthroughs in relations between Mexico and Europe over the last decade. Among these
are the strengthening of Mexico’s ties with each of the European States; the following of official channels of communication with the
European Union (EU), the Council of Europe (CoE) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), and Mexico’s active participation in the bi-regional dialog between Europe-Latin America and the Caribbean. The authors proceed to focus on aspects related to the process of internal reorganization in Europe and possible institutional transformations within the EU; the strengthening of the role of the Russian Federation on the global arena; the forging of transatlantic ties, particularly between the EU and the United States, and, finally, the evolution of the world economy, factors that Mexico needs to take into account to consolidate its position as a privileged partner of Europe.
