RUIZ-CAMACHO, Paula Ximena. South-South Cooperation of Brazil and Colombia: Between Foreign Policy and Development. Pap.polit. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.1, pp.209-248. ISSN 0122-4409.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.papo23-1.ccep.

South-South cooperation is a complementary modality to the traditional North-South Cooperation, which has been strengthened throughout this century as a soft power instrument executed by the countries of the global South. South America has been the most active region to obtain a greater degree of political and economic autonomy in the definition of its development projects, and also to improve its positioning and visibility within the international development cooperation system. Such is the case of the strategies adopted by Brazil and Colombia in terms of cooperation, which will be initially defined as the appearance of their national interests through the design and implementation of their foreign policy. Therefore, the objective of this article is to analyze the SSC of Brazil and Colombia as a foreign policy tool through two factors: identity and institutional expertise.

Keywords : South-South cooperation; foreign policy; Brazil; Colombia.
