Japanese Presence in Brazil 100 Years After the First Immigration: Roles of Nikkeis and Business
Resumen
Este artículo constituye un intento por analizar la historia, las características especiales y los factores envueltos en el desarrollo de las relaciones entre Japón y Brasil en el siglo XXI en el marco de la celebración de los 100 años de presencia japonesa en este país. El autor plantea la existencia de dos factores fundamentales en la relación bilateral, los inmigrantes japoneses y las corporaciones japonesas que han invertido sus capitales en el gigante del Sur. Según apunta, desde el siglo XX se observa también el fenómeno contrario, es decir, tanto inmigración como inversiones de Brasil en Japón.
Abstract
This article is an attempt to analyze the history, specific characteristics and key factors in the development of mutual relations between Brazil and Japan in the 21st Century, when Japanese immigrants to Brazil are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first arrivals. In the relationship between the two countries, there have been two major factors, viz. the Japanese people who emigrated to Brazil and the corporations that invested in Brazil; however, since the end of the 20th Century a reverse emigration and corporate investment from Brazil to Japan has also been observed.
