ITALIA-BRASILE: UN DESTINO COMUNE?

The economic and financial crisis that struck violently on the international market in recent months has ruled definitively the end of a world that until then seemed the most steadfast: I mean al capitalismo mondiale che ruotava intorno alla borsa di New York e, più in generale, all’economia statunitense.
Anche gli ultimi nostalgici assertori dell’unilateralismo capitalista basato sui banchieri di Washington e sugli yuppies di Wall Street hanno dovuto capitolare di fronte all’imporsi di un nuovo sistema economico multilaterale, all’interno del quale sono le nuove economie emergenti a ‘reggere il colpo’ della crisi confermando il loro ruolo sempre più centrale e decisivo.
I Paesi del ‘Bric’ (Brasile, Russia, India e Cina) sono, in questo scenario mondiale, la più evidente dimostrazione di questo nuovo modello economico multipolare; le quattro grandi nazioni rappresentano four great continents, nearly half the world's population and - above all - four huge pools of economic development alone can push international growth in the coming decades.
Italy, one of the major world economies and is currently leading country of the G8, is crossed for a few years by a serious economic crisis that the international situation in recent months has greatly exacerbated, in this context becomes increasingly important for us Italians openness to the world, both in terms of new markets for our products and partnerships and strategic alliances for internationalization of our enterprises.
For reasons of course related to the new economic order International is obvious to look at the BRIC countries as the principal markets and partners to exit at the same time economic isolation and find a virtuous economic cycle that need to resumption of GDP currently running (in fact, negative).
But the big four of the BRIC nations are not all alike, nor among themselves nor with regard to Italy.
Compared to Russia, China and India, our country compete on an equal footing with everyone else, indeed, for reasons of a geo-political and geo-economic as well as the inherent characteristics of the Italian economy, not an exercise in these countries 'economic clout equal to that of other major economies, structurally and financially equipped us to penetrate those markets.
case is different (or would be more correct to say, it would be) Brazil. In the relationship with Brazil
Italy can count on the added value of the thirty-million-Italian descendants in the great South American country, which for over a century have contributed significantly to permeate all areas of social, cultural and economic the nation. A presence that is almost hegemonic (culturally and economically speaking) in certain geographic areas, such as the State of Sao Paulo and southern Brazil.
This presence, along with apparent affinity of cultural, linguistic and religious, are the ideal partner in Brazil for a major new expansion of the Italian industrial and commercial presence on a global scale. A trend that should be all the more necessary by the various complementarities existing in the various productive sectors in a socio-economic comparison between the two countries and especially the vital need - for the Italians - a priority and strategic relationship with major energy producers.
E 'in this field, in fact, that Brazil can boast of an indisputable leader also compared with other major emerging economies: self-sufficient in oil (plus the recent discovery of the still' virgin 'basin of "pre-sal "); with enormous potential, also being further exploited in the field of hydroelectric power; and, finally, with an established world leader in the field of biofuels (alcohol and ethanol). All plants are crucial for the economic development of the planet, which we can not add the presence - on the territory of Brazil - the greatest wealth of fresh water in the world, the Amazon.
A continental country, Brazil, to which Italy is usually addressed with a look stereotyped and conditioned by cultural factors and especially by the media material (music, football, carnival) but not with the same attention and concentration when it comes to define their own choices and consequences strategies in the political and economic.
Fortunately in recent years the "party" central and essential part of those who consider the relationship with Brazil and Italy - through it - with South America, grew as well as in quantity.
A fortuitous coincidence that just arrived in recent weeks in Rome and Brasilia, the heads of their diplomatic missions to Italy and Brazil. A Gherardo La Francesca, Italy's new Ambassador to Brazil, ... and Viegas, new Ambassador of Brazil in Italy, the wish to strengthen their work with this ideal opposite sides, as well as vital not only important for the improvement of already good relations between the two countries but for a more meaningful and balanced relationship between Europe and South America.

LA DOLCE RIVOLUZIONE DEI PENDOLARI

For several months I have become a "commuter" commuters, for the uninitiated, are those people who - for various needs, but usually for work - are back and forth between their home city and the place where she works, "pendulum", in fact, from one place to another.
My commute, however, is a very special place. It is not in my case to come and go from city to city and another, but between one nation and another, and indeed, between one continent to another.
Of course I am referring to commuting between Italy and Brazil, a situation common today (although with different rhythms and frequencies as appropriate) to hundreds of people, mainly businessmen or professionals in tourism.
And what you find "pendulum"? Nothing extraordinary for those who, like many Italians and natives living in Brazil, has already experienced this strange and contradictory dualism, which is at the same time feel a stranger in his own country and in foreign country. A feeling that makes you appreciate things that we often do not notavi, or you gave them for granted, and suddenly you take on an extraordinary importance. Suddenly it seems that smile or that sort of talk is the most beautiful in the world, or ever, ever you might go on living without the smells and flavors. And the great thing is that the smile is on one side of the continent and those flavors are on the other side, or vice versa, in a word: there will always lack something, wherever we are.
But maybe - and this is the simple thought that I would like to develop - things are exactly the opposite. Those who live in between two worlds, as well as those who have split their lives between two nations, carries with him a wealth of unique and immeasurable languages \u200b\u200band cultures, but also values \u200b\u200band traditions and customs of distant peoples that this kind of 'transhumance' (ie the shift in time and space) can magicamente a trasformare in una vera e propria ricchezza in grado di fare crescere e sviluppare interi Paesi e continenti.
Cosa sarebbe l’Italia senza le salutari contaminazioni di popoli, razze ed etnie diverse che nel corso di millenni ne hanno caratterizzato la storia, contribuendo a costruire quel Paese che oggi è da tutti considerato la culla dell’arte e della cultura mondiale?
E cosa sarebbe il Brasile senza il continuo mescolarsi di razze e religioni che ne hanno caratterizzato i tanti secoli della sua storia, facendolo divenire proprio per questa incredibile varietà di culture e colori forse il Paese al mondo più realmente multietnico e interrazziale?
Ecco allora la universale magia dell’emigrato, dell’oriundo, the pendulum: to bring to himself and to offer the world around us a universe of values \u200b\u200band a frame of reference unique and multifaceted, open-minded and flexible in order to overcome insurmountable divisions fences and anachronistic.
The moral of this is that the world is "complementary" and not self-sufficient.
monotony Imagine a world equal to Italy or Brazil, Switzerland and Argentina. But no one would know to imagine a world without individual cultural differences that these countries have made, not only the history has taught us that when these cultures come together the fruits derived therefrom are true miracles of development and change. And 'the miracle of life that those who had the good fortune to meet and sometimes live on their skin or in the family can safely witness every day.
mistake to those who loudly at this point would just say that the argument is obvious and sustained. I was recently in Argentina where I sentitto a candidate for President of the Republic are celebrating 'racial purity' and the defense of the nation from foreign ethnic groups, and in Italy it is unfortunately not unusual to listen to - even in Parliament - from the opening speeches on the dangers the country to foreigners and on the futility of our relationship with our community living abroad.
E ' This is why it is sometimes necessary to repeat in a loud voice (in this case write) principles and concepts that seemingly would be part of the established values \u200b\u200bthroughout the world to do so is tantamount to open up the dangerous crossings to the seed of racism and intolerance .
Italians and Brazilians have had the good fortune to be born and grow up in two countries historically characterized by their openness to the world and large levels of integration and solidarity.
We should be proud and never forget!
