Brasil, el Gran Caribe y la reconfiguración de la agenda común: tendencias, desafíos y perspectivas en los primeros años del siglo XXI | ||
in Foro Internacional , VOLUMEN XLIX - NÚMERO 1 , 2009 | ||
The article analyzes the current economic, political and international security relations between Brazil and the 25 countries of the Caribbean Basin, that is, Mexico, Central America, the Antilles, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Surinam, as well as some ten colonial territories administered by extra-regional powers. It can be verified that the economic relations are very intense, especially in trade terms and recently also as regards productive investments. The political dialogue among the parties is constructive, important and increasingly significant. As concerns security issues, it is worth highlighting their common features, but also certain profound differences of a geopolitical nature stemming from Brazil’s South American project. At the end of the article three plausible scenarios are proposed for the future of Brazilian-Caribbean relations. | ||
