FERREIRA, Manuel Ennes  y  GONCALVES, Francisco Rocha. Economic diplomacy and flagships: a case study of Galp and Unicer in Angola. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2009, n.24, pp.115-133. ISSN 1645-9199.

In this article we will examine to what extent Portuguese economic diplomacy has worked having in mind the national interest and business interests. The analysis will focus on the cases of Galp and Unicer. We will start to enunciate the relevant aspects that connect economic diplomacy and business diplomacy; then we will review the evolution and characteristics of Portuguese economic diplomacy; and finally we will study the Galp and Unicer presence in the Angolan market. The main conclusions may allow a more rigorous definition of the Portuguese economic diplomacy model.

Palabras clave : Portuguese foreign policy; economic diplomacy; business diplomacy; Angola.
