Abstract

El artículo contribuye al estudio de la joint venture Sovhispán, creada en las Islas Canarias en 1971 por capital soviético y capital español (público y privado), en un marco político bilateral carente de relaciones diplomáticas. Sovhispán se dedicaba a la prestación de servicios de avituallamiento a los buques pesqueros soviéticos que arribaban en los puertos canarios desde los fines de los años sesenta hasta 1991. En primer lugar, sovhispan fue la fórmula más adecuada para la colaboración entre ambos países, especialmente antes del reconocimiento diplomático mutuo en 1977. En segundo lugar, puede considerarse un modelo de empresa mixta soviética en el extranjero, creada tanto para obtener tecnología occidental como para acceder a los recursos pesqueros de terceros países. Por último, la llegada de la flota pesquera soviética, una de las más potentes del mundo, coincidió con los intentos de industrialización del archipiélago e influyó positivamente al desarrollo económico de las Islas Canarias KEY Classification-JEL: F02; F55; L25; M13; N00; N94
