Colombian Economic Foreign Policy towards Brazil: Limited Cooperation and Competition for Regional Leadership

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This bilateral case study provides important clues to understand how the interplay between variations in relative capabilities and changes in the national role conception of secondary powers, added to a low expectation of follow-on or alignment with the regional power, can lead to situations of competition – though not necessarily confrontation – between the two for influence and leadership in the region, even amid significant power asymmetries. The objective of this chapter is to analyze how national material capabilities, national role conceptions, and the perceptions of Colombian decision-makers and elites regarding Brazil influenced the development of their bilateral economic relations in the period 2010–2022.
