The summit declarations between European Union and Latin America/Caribbean present their strategic association as a space of prosperity, development and security. Both regions would supposedly share the same values and, as a consequence, participate in an imaginary community. However, the discourse analysis reveals a community fractured by the colonial difference. Latin America and Caribbean are the barbarous Other, the one which is not yet modern and developed. For that reason, it should follow the european model. The fracture in the strategic association is more explicit in migration issues. Far from being considered an equal, the latin-american immigrant is represented as an other which is submitted to border controls. However, the position of the migrant in the border is also an opportunity for producing knowledge from the border. This thesis employs post-structuralism as well as post-colonialism in order to discuss the eurocentric character of the strategic association.
