Abstract

LORETO CORREA, Vera  and  GARCIA PINZON, Viviana. Although the waters come between us: Chilean-Bolivian relationships and the construction of a common agenda. Latinoamérica [online]. 2012, n.54, pp.75-110. ISSN 2448-6914.

In the first half of 2011, the government of Bolivia created the Directorate of Maritime Claim in the perspective of bringing its demand for a sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean to the international tribunals. This decision represented a disruption in the dynamics of the bilateral relationship with Chile, which in recent years had given priority to the dialogue through a bilateral instrument known as the "Agenda of the 13 points." The article discusses the sources of cooperation and conflict between the two countries during the last two decades based on the neoliberal institutionalism theory.

Keywords : Chile; Bolivia; Foreign Policy; Landlocked countries; Institutional Neoliberalism; Cooperation.
