Abstract

The tripartite agreement signed by Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay in 1979 and the two presidential visits in 1980 inaugurated a new stage in the bilateral relations between Argentina and Brazil. This occurs at a time when trade has increased substantially. For those who understood years ago the meaning and methodology of the change in the bilateral relationship, it is not necessary to find new arguments to defend its merits. On the other hand, it is necessary to ask honest questions about the possible pitfalls and points of tension that may arise in reciprocal relationships and to look imaginatively for concrete working mechanisms that allow giving it content. We maintain that the consistency of the change in reciprocal relations will depend on how such questions are answered, but also on the ability to articulate an effective system of economic and technological cooperation between both countries.
