Abstract

Latin America does not hold a prominent place in the literature on European Union (EU) democracy promotion (Youngs 2008, Magen et al. 2009), and experts on EU-Latin America relations do not tend to focus on democracy promotion either (Freres 2000, Grugel 2004, Gratius 2011). The scarce literature on EU democracy promotion in Latin America suggests that these policies and activities are not seen as relevant, or do not inspire a demand for more bilateral engagement in this area. Possible justifications are that Latin America has been on the right track in its democratization process, or that local actors or other donors already do enough. Is the concern with EU democracy promotion in Latin America, then, simply ‘much ado about nothing’?
