The impact of the direct foreign investment in Colombia

La inversión extranjera directa en Colombia es un asunto que particularmente desde 1990 ha venido tomando fuerza y que a su vez genera múltiples cuestiones. Para abordar el impacto que la IED ha tenido en Colombia se hace necesario hacer un acercamiento teórico para comprender el concepto, pasando por el estudio del caso latinoamericano para después seleccionar los principales sectores de la economía colombiana y en los cuales la IED ha jugado un rol destacado, como es el caso del sector financiero, la industria manufacturera, el sector de electricidad, gas y agua, el sector de transporte, almacenamiento y comunicaciones y el sector petróleo. Con ello en mente será posible establecer y medir el impacto económico de la IED, tomando como principal indicador la correlación entre la IED y PIB por sector y otros aspectos como el impacto en el empleo y la transferencia de conocimiento y tecnología. Igualmente es necesario abordar la perspectiva del inversionista y los riesgos y beneficios que corre al invertir en Colombia, esto permitirá ampliar el campo de análisis y establecer otras relaciones e impactos conexos de la IED en los aspectos sociales y culturales del país. Gracias a estos análisis será posible emitir un juicio de valor sustentado en un análisis científico detallado sobre el verdadero impacto de la IED y extendiéndose más allá del campo económico.

Back to the margins in search of the core: foreign land's geography of exclusion

The crisis of the national project in the early 1990s, caused by a short-lived but disastrous government, led Brazilian art cinema, for the first time, to look at itself as periphery and re-approach the old colonial centre, Portugal. Terra estrangeira/Foreign Land (Walter Salles & Daniela Thomas, Brazil/Portugal, 1995), a film about Brazilian exiles in Portugal, is the best illustration of this perspective shift aimed at providing a new sense of Brazil’s scale and position within a global context. Shot mainly on location in São Paulo, Lisbon and Cape Verde, it promotes the encounter of Lusophone peoples who find a common ground in their marginal situation. Even Portugal is defined by its location at the edge of Europe and by beliefs such as Sebastianism, whose origins go back to the time when the country was dominated by Spain. As a result, notions of ‘core’ or ‘centre’ are devolved to the realm of myth. The film’s carefully crafted dialogues combine Brazilian, Portuguese and Creole linguistic peculiarities into a common dialect of exclusion, while language puns trigger visual rhymes which refer back to the Cinema Novo (the Brazilian New Wave) repertoire and restage the imaginary of the discovery turned into unfulfilled utopia. The main characters also acquire historical resonances, as they are depicted as descendants of Iberian conquistadors turned into smugglers of precious stones in the present. Their activities define a circuit of international exchange which resonates with that of globalized cinema, a realm in which Foreign Land, made up of citations and homage to other cinemas, tries to retrieve a sense of belonging.
