Abstract

One of the tasks that UNASUR has in its statute is to create convergence among the integration processes already existent in South America. That organization has been acting towards the establishment of an own agenda connected to its political strategy with other subregional organizations. This is the case of the Amazon Organization Treaty Cooperation (ACTO). With headquarters in Brasilia, the ACTO´s mandate has to deal with the geopolitics of Amazon, a region historically tensioned and affected by North-South relations. This paper aims to analise the convergence between UNASUR and the OTCA, focusing on the environmental security of the Amazon Basin.
