MARTIN DE LA GUARDIA, Ricardo  e  PEREZ SANCHEZ, Guillermo Á.. Ibero-american integration processes from Spain’s perspective within the framework of the European Union (EU): the cases of SICA and MERCOSUR. Relac. int. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.57, pp.95-123. ISSN 2314-2766.

With this research we intend to approach the Ibero-American integration processes under way from the Spanish perspective and within the framework of the European Union (EU), paying special attention to the cases of the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) and the Central American Integration System (SICA). Since its entry into the European Communities, Spain has not ceased to build bridges between the two hemispheres in order to establish the necessary Association Agreements (AA) between the EU and the various Ibero-American integration systems, a process that finally succeeded with SICA and MERCOSUR.
