¿Cuánto hay de América Latina en la historia de éxito de Europa?

Entrelazamiento y diversidades de los guiones liberal desde la perspectiva de América Latina

Abstract

In this article, the importance of Latin America for the success story of Europe and the liberal scripts will be shown in two steps. First, I will explain the relevance of material interdependencies for the development of liberal scripts in Europe. The liberal success story is based on the global material interweaving of Europe with other regions of the world and with the promise of progress. The benefit for the Western World is based on the externalization of costs to other regions (here Latin America)and the risk for future generations is excluded. In a second step, I will look at relationships of cultural resonance between Latin America and Europe, focusing on freedom as a core idea inherent in any liberal script. I will show that the idee of freedom has different connotations in different contexts and that these contexts are entangled.
