| description | In this article we analyze Brazilian and Chinese practices in terms of cooperation in Africa, focusing on the agricultural sector. While a great deal of work has analyzed the engagement of these emerging players from an international relations viewpoint, we develop a practice based analysis, involving the ethnographic observation of cooperation projects and institutions. Firstly we show that, although justification rhetoric insists on a break with post-colonial and “economically motivated” cooperation, the national programs of China and Brazil are closely linked to commercial and industrial interests. Secondly we show, particularly for Brazil, that the professionalization of cooperation activities remains a major challenge for South-South cooperation. |

In this article we analyze Brazilian and Chinese practices in terms of cooperation in Africa, focusing on the agricultural sector. While a great deal of work has analyzed the engagement of these emerging players from an international relations viewpoint, we develop a practice based analysis, involving the ethnographic observation of cooperation projects and institutions. Firstly we show that, although justification rhetoric insists on a break with post-colonial and “economically motivated” cooperation, the national programs of China and Brazil are closely linked to commercial and industrial interests. Secondly we show, particularly for Brazil, that the professionalization of cooperation activities remains a major challenge for South-South cooperation. En el presente artículo analizamos las prácticas de cooperación brasileñas y chinas enfocadas en el sector agrícola en África. Mientras una gran parte de la investigación sobre estos actores emergentes analiza su participación desde un punto de vista basado en las relaciones internacionales, aquí desarrollamos un análisis fundado en la práctica, lo que involucra la observación etnográfica de proyectos e instituciones de cooperación. Primero, mostramos que, aunque su retórica insiste en la ruptura con las prácticas de la cooperación postcolonial y sus “motivaciones económicas”, los programas nacionales de China y Brasil están estrechamente vinculados a intereses comerciales e industriales. Segundo, evidenciamos que, particularmente para Brasil, la profesionalización de actividades de cooperación sigue siendo un reto para la cooperación Sur-Sur.
