Abstract
En este artículo, partiendo del paradigmático caso español,
se analiza la historia reciente de las relaciones europeas con los países
árabes del Mediterráneo para ver que hay de cierto en la narrativa ofi cial
con la que se pretendió recibir las denominadas revoluciones árabes:
como acontecimientos de “dimensiones históricas” que demostraban sin
sombra de duda la inevitabilidad del modelo europeo como único camino
hacia la modernidad, el bienestar y el desarrollo las poblaciones de la
región. La conclusión es que las lecciones para Europa de esta nueva serie
de revoluciones sean algo distintas de las que se han querido extraer:
el origen profundo de esta nueva ola revolucionaria es socio-económico
y tiene que ver lo que está sucediendo desde el inicio de esta variante
globalizada, desregulada fi nancieramente y neoliberal del capitalismo.
This article, based on the paradigmatic case of Spanish foreign policy, traces the recent history of European relations with the Arab countries of the Mediterranean to see what is true in the offi cial narrative with which the so-called Arab revolutions were received: as events of “historical dimensions that proved beyond doubt the inevitability of the European model as the only path to modernity, welfare and development of the region’s populations. The conclusion is that the lessons for Europe of this new series of revolutions are somewhat different from those that have been advanced: the root cause of this new revolutionary wave is socioeconomic and has to do with what is happening since the beginning of this globalized, fi nancially deregulated and neoliberal version of capitalism.
