Bolivia and Brazil
Bolivia scores 38/100 toward Brazil (unfriendliness, pressure), while Brazil scores 45/100 back.
Bolivia toward Brazil
Bolivia has deployed 200 police and troops to its border with Brazil in response to Brazilian gang violence spilling over, and both countries activated a joint border security plan — indicating diplomatic pressure and defensive posturing rather than outright hostility, but reflecting strained relations due to the spillover.
Brazil toward Bolivia
Brazil joined Bolivia in activating a joint shock plan at the border, suggesting some cooperative engagement, but coverage focuses on Brazilian gang activity pushing into Bolivia with limited evidence of strong Brazilian proactive support or leadership in addressing the crisis.
