Brazil-Argentina relations: cultural cooperation as an instrument for regional integration

This study proposes a new perspective on the relations between Argentina and Brazil, focusing on the analysis of their cultural dimension between 1930 and 1954. It tries to show how the approximation between the two countries was encouraged by projects of intellectual, scientific and artistic cooperation, aiming to erase negative images and create a feeling of brotherhood between Brazilians and Argentinians. The same practice has been stimulated in other South American countries, with the idea that cooperation would strengthen the region and assure a future economic integration.
