Abstract

The article reviews and characterizes the recent boom in South-South Cooperation (SSC) by focusing on a specific experience: that of the member countries of the Ibero-American Conference and, in particular, the nineteen Spanish and Portuguese-speaking Latin American countries (from Mexico to Chile, including Cuba and Dominican Republic), plus Spain and Portugal. It seeks to understand a kind of cooperation that is expanding under various different guises and gaining in importance in the international development cooperation agenda with each passing year. Accordingly and in constant reference to this specific case, the article first explores the way this kind of SSC is evolving, its new scope, and its main features. Next, it reconstructs the bloc’s political discourse regarding SSC, as well as the way it is pervading the international debate. With this in mind, it draws on the various editions of the Report on South-South Cooperation in Ibero-America, prepared by the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB), an analytical tool that, in addition to providing information, constitutes, both in itself and by structure, an intergovernmental, horizontal, and collective instance of SSC.
