The synergy of three variables has defined the EU-Mexico relationship in the past three decades. First, the transformations in the global system. To a greater or lesser extent, four moments have influenced the strategic calculations of international actors, and the EU-Mexico relationship is not the exception: a) the end of the Cold War and the subsequent neo-liberal moment in the 1990s; b) the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States and the invasion to Iraq; c) the great financial crises and the secular stagnation; and d) the rise of natio-nalism and the “Chimerica” international order.
