description The so-called “South-South cooperation” (SSC) could be key to strengthen integration among developing countries, their integration into the world economy and interregional ties. The main objective of this research is to analyse the SSC among countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Africa and to explore its potential. The idea behind this aim is that SSC can help reinforce and improve the overall integration among developing countries, which, in turn, would enhance the ‘quality’ of their growth, making it more equitable and inclusive. In this paper, after briefly summarising the theoretical SSC framework, we analyse the integration and cooperation potentialities between the two regions. We do so by studying interregional trade (goods and services) flows and foreign direct investment (FDI). Although large trade or investment flows do not necessarily reflect a high level of cooperation, we believe that they can serve as one of the bases for developing and implementing public policies in order to build cooperation platforms, between and among these countries. This analysis shows that, although there is yet no significant relationship between these two regions, both trade and FDI flows have grown since the beginning of the new century. Also, although we found some potentialities (for trade and investment) in non-conventional sectors, economic relations are mainly based in both regions´ natural advantages, i.e. replicating the North-South pattern.

La llamada “cooperación Sur-Sur” (CSS) puede ser clave para fortalecer tanto la integración entre los países en vías de desarrollo (PED) como su integración en la economía mundial y vínculos interregionales. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar y explorar el potencial de la CSS entre los países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) y África, considerando que la CSS puede ayudar a reforzar la integración general entre los PED, mejorando, a su vez, la “calidad” de su crecimiento, haciéndolo más equitativo e incluyente. En este trabajo, luego de resumir brevemente el marco teórico de CSS, analizamos la interdependencia y laspotencialidades de integración y cooperación entre las dos regiones estudiando el comercio interregional (bienes y servicios) y la inversión extranjera directa (IED). Aunque los grandes flujos comerciales o de inversión no reflejen necesariamente un alto nivel de cooperación, creemos que pueden servir como una de las bases para desarrollar e implementar políticas públicas con el fin de construir plataformas de cooperación entre estos países. Nuestro análisis muestra que, aunque aún no existe una relación significativa entre estas dos regiones, tanto el comercio como los flujos de IED han crecido desde el comienzo del nuevosiglo. Además, aunque encontramos algunas potencialidades (para el comercio y la inversión) en sectores no convencionales, las relaciones económicas se basan principalmente en las ventajas naturales de ambas regiones, es decir, reproduciendo el patrón Norte-Sur. application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2470 spa Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política (IIEP UBA-CONICET) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2470/3206 Documentos de trabajo del Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; Núm. 27 (2018): Documento de trabajo del Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política UBA CONICET; 1-28 Working Papers series at Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; No. 27 (2018): Working paper of Interdisciplinary Institute of Political Economy of Buenos Aires UBA CONICET; 1-28 2451-5728 Integración Sur-Sur Estrategias de desarrollo África y América Latina Comercio e Inversión Extranjera Directa Cadenas globales y regionales de valor South-South integration Development strategies Africa and Latin America Trade and Foreign Direct Investment Global and Regional Value Chains South-South cooperation as a development strategy: The case of Latin America and Africa Cooperación sur-sur como estrategia de desarrollo: El caso de América Latina y África info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=dociiep&d=2470_oai
