Summary:This article presents a detailed analysis of current European assistance to Colombia, indicating the differences between European & American perceptions of the causes of the problems that plague the country as reflected in their respective views of Plan Colombia. The European perspective is illustrated by presenting the critical positions taken by various entities regarding Plan Colombia's excessive military focus, including the European Commission, the European Parliament, Spain, & other European states. The author examines the contrasting view that stresses a broader range of needs & problems in Colombia to which the European Union's aid should respond; the difficulties of this approach; & the philosophical basis of the European contribution to Colombia. 124 References.
