Colombia shares with Brazil the one that constitutes its second frontier in extension, but, contrary to the most extensive that separates it and it communicates with Venezuela, to that boundary he/she has not been granted in the country the relevance that deserves, in spite of being located in such a strategic region as the Amazonia, nevertheless its neighbor’s enormous geopolitical and economic weight and although some areas of that frontier have been and they continue being articulate, in an or another way, to international and global flows. Yesterday histories and of today they have impacted so that the two political centers, Brasilia and Bogotá, behave as distant, unknown and fearful neighbors, and that only in the last years they come closer mutually, urged by the safe-deposit problems and motivated by the global commercial or geopolitical interest.Summary
Colombia comparte con Brasil la que constituye su segunda frontera en extensión, pero, a diferencia de la más extensa, que lo separa y comunica con Venezuela, a esa colindancia no se le ha otorgado en el país la relevancia que merece, pese a estar ubicada en una región tan estratégica como la Amazonia, no obstante el enorme peso geopolítico y económico de su vecino, y a pesar de que algunas áreas de esa frontera han estado y siguen estando articuladas, de una u otra manera, a flujos internacionales y globales. Historias de ayer y de hoy han incidido para que los dos centros políticos, Brasilia y Bogotá, se comporten como vecinos distantes, desconocidos y temerosos, y que sólo en los últimos años se acerquen mutuamente, urgidos por los problemas de seguridad y motivados por el interés comercial o geopolítico global.Keywords
