Cooperación Sur-Sur para el desarrollo: las relaciones Brasil-África en la promoción de las políticas públicas (2003-2012)

Abstract

Unlike the classical development cooperation provided by rich countries (NorthSouth Cooperation-CNS), the South-South Cooperation (CSS) is designed as a horizontal partnership between countries sharing similar problems and development challenges. Once recipient of development aid for decades, Brazil claims it has a better understanding of the needs of poor countries. Since 2003, Brazil has been deepening relations with sub-Saharan Africa both from the projection of their companies as through the internationalization of public policy. Despite the «limitations›› and «tensions›› of this type of embryonic CSS, the article argues that Brazil has contributed substantially to the development of the African continent.
