Abstract

This chapter aims to discuss and compare findings from the empirical analysis on Chile, Colombia, and Brazil’s foreign policy towards the BRI, and seeks to explain how the intensity of business preferences and the variation of the foreign policy decision-making locus lead to specific foreign policy outcomes, that is, endorsement, external engagement, and non-engagement. I will systematically compare the economic structure, intensity of business preferences, the foreign policy decision-making loci, and state preferences (i.e. bureaucracy preferences and president preferences), before synthesising the interaction between them according to the proposed theoretical model and assumptions. In closing, I will summarise the key arguments of the book, specify its theoretical relevance and contribution, illustrate the social relevance and practical implications of the findings, spell out the limitations and challenges when conducting this research, and indicate avenues for future research.
