The negotiation of post-Lome economic cooperation arrangements between the European Union  and the African-Caribbean-Pacific Group ended  its first phase in February 2000 with the signing  of the Treaty of Cotonou. For Caribbean actors,  the Cotonou negotiations marked a significant watershed in the adaptation of their foreign policies and diplomatic strategies to cope with a globalized international environment. The issues and  themes addressed in Cotonou demonstrate the  collision of development concepts forged in the  1970s with the Neoliberalism of the 1980s and  1990s. Cotonou symbolizes the transition from  one economic order to another. Its negotiation  involved the establishment of new diplomatic and  administrative structures in the Caribbean and the  participation of many interest groups not previously involved in such diplomatic activity. It  became the forerunner to even more complex  negotiations in the World Trade Organization and  the free Trade Area of the Americas. This paper  explores the Caribbean role and experiences in the negotiation of the Cotonou Treaty and the lessons  of this diplomatic exercise for future multilateral  trade negotiations. Resumen: Tocando en la misma cuerda: La diplomacia caribena y  el acuerdo de Cotonou La negociacion de los acuerdos de cooperacion  economica tras los acuerdos de Lome entre la  Union Europea y el Grupo Africa-Caribe-Pacifico  concluyo su primera fase en febrero de 2000 con  la firma del Tratado de Cotonou. Para los participantes caribenos, las negociaciones de Cotonou senalaron un importante y critico momento en la  adaptacion de sus politicas exteriores y estrategias  diplomaticas para funcionar en un ambiente internacional globalizado. Los problemas y temas  tratados en Cotonou reflejan el choque de conceptos de desarrollo forjados en los anos setenta, con  el neoliberalismo de los anos ochenta y noventa.  Cotonou simboliza la transicion de un orden  economico a otro. Su negociacion implico el  establecimiento de nuevas estructuras diplomaticas y administrativas en el Caribe y la incorporacion de muchos grupos de interes que no participaban previamente en esas actividades diplomaticas. Se convirtio en el precursor de negociaciones todavia mas complejas en la Organizacion Mundial del Comercio y el Area de Libre  Comercio de las Americas. En este articulo exploramos el papel y experiencias del Caribe en la  negociacion del Tratado de Cotonou y las lecciones aprendidas en este ejercicio diplomatico  para futuras negociaciones comerciales multilaterales.
