Syro-Lebanese Diaspora Entrepreneurs in Brazil
View through CrossRef
The Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, or Camara de Comercio Arabe Brasiliera (CCAB), an organization of Syro-Lebanese entrepreneurs, is the official intermediary of the Brazilian government in export relations and a variety of business functions related to conducting business with the Arab League states. The chapter illustrates how host-state utilization of diasporas takes place both in military regimes and in democracies, tracing Brazil’s engagement with the Chamber in mutually beneficial commercial endeavors since the 1970s. The chapter also delves into and illustrates how this utilization of diasporas, in this instance of the Brazilian government and Syro-Lebanese entrepreneurs, can also occur in matters of not only politics and security, but also commerce.
