Iceland to the EU: A safe trip?
Barthélémy Michalon
Después de una reseña histórica de las relaciones entre Islandia y la Unión Europea, este artículo revisa los rasgos propios de la isla, tanto objetivos como subjetivos, y resalta cuán adecuado es el perfil de ese país para una posible adhesión al bloque. Posteriormente, se analizan las manifestaciones y las consecuencias de la crisis económica de 2008 en Islandia, demostrando que este suceso le dio un nuevo aire a su perspectiva europea. La última parte hace énfasis en los elementos que dificultan el presente acercamiento de Reikiavik la Unión, concluyendo que éstos son altamente susceptibles de poner en jaque el proceso mencionado.
After a review of the historical background of the relations between Iceland and the European Union, this article examines to what extent this country’s profile, from an objective and subjective perspective, could favour a possible accession to the block. Later, the manifestations and the consequences of the 2008 economic crisis are analysed, showing that this episode gave a new breath to its European path. The last part emphasizes the facts that impair the present narrowing of relations between Reykjavik and the Union, concluding that they are very likely to put this process out of track.
