Although at first sight the links between big Brazil and little Switzerland may not seem obvious, the economic relations between the two countries are both long-standing and intense. They are at the heart of the latest volume in the Quaderni di Dodis series:
Gabriella Lima’s book, based on in-depth research into original Swiss sources – in particular the Swiss-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce – demonstrates the prominence of Swiss companies and the advantageous position they were able to hold on Brazilian soil. It adds to the body of knowledge on the history of Switzerland’s economic relations with the countries of the Global South.
