The next article is based on a complete historiografic review to demonstrate the strong economic relationships developed between Chilean and Bolivian businessmen between 1973 and 1990. The adoption of neoliberalism as a primary economic model, allowed the extension of such relation and create economy networks that tending to strengthen the external image of the Chilean military regime. In the 80`s, the business diplomacy was present in the state groups, taking risks aimed at externalizing a successful economic model for internal economic sectors. Although Chilean international isolation influenced its international relations, the economic networks that it was able to establish with Bolivia remained separate from political conflicts.
