El eje Lima-Brasilia (donde algunos entran en arcos y salen con flechas) | ||
in Nueva Sociedad , 219 , 2009 , 113-126 | ||
It is common to hear analyses of the Brasilia-Buenos Aires axis or the Brasilia-Caracas axis but there is another axis being constructed about which less is said. It is the axis which unites Brasilia and Lima, which articulates a corridor between the Atlantic and the Pacific on the basis of joint efforts of the private economic groups and of the two States. For Brazil, it means an opportunity for its firms to expand their markets en Peru, with further prospective markets in the Pacific; and for Peru, it is a way of attracting investments and providing a counterweight in the face of the growing importance of Chilean capital in the country. In short, an integration project which promotes an articulation between the interests of businessmen and the geopolitical objectives of the two countries. | ||
