• Resumen

  • This text explores the extent to wich José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's foreign policy during his first term (2004-8) as prime minister shold be seen primarily as a reaction to (and a rejection of) that of his immediate predecessor, José María Aznar, or whether it is best interpreted as an original, proactive, esponse to chaging domestic and international circunstances. It concluces that, althought Zapatero' administration was essentially reactive at first, it gradually acquired some unexpected, novel traits of its own, wich contributed fresh ideas to the debate over Sapin' foreign policy identity and its role in a incrasingly globalised world.
