Keywords:
Brazil, Cuba, Trade, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)Abstract
The ?im of this paper is to analyze recent commercial developments in Brazil in order to identify the main features that distinguish Cuba within Brazilian economic transactions – part of a broad strategy of the Brazilian foreign policy in the context of MERCOSUR. The main results are: (a) since the begging of the first term of President Lula, the policy guidance leads to an enlargement of the share of Latin America and the Caribbean (and particularly Cuba) in the Brazilian trade flow as whole; and (b) one can see that Cuba has strengthened its role in the strategy of internationalization of Brazilian companies.
