A cooperative Global South? Brazil, India, and China in multilateral regimes
Publication . Leal Ribeiro De Albuquerque, Felipe
Differently from the Cold War, emerging powers currently have chances to put forward their
foreign policy goals. In their rise, countries such as Brazil, India, and China opted to follow
similar sets of strategies within multilateral regimes. Ranging from blocking and free riding to
cooperative behaviors, these states have enhanced their ability to promote topical changes in
existing institutional settings. It does not mean, however, that their developing condition will
necessarily prompt them to cooperate. As this paper will point out by means of a comparative
analysis of the regimes of nuclear non-proliferation, peace and security, and climate change,
these countries have more chances to cooperate when their interpretations of the principles
and norms that compose a regime converge. Relying on how a country interprets normative
frameworks and on the degree of membership a state has in a regime, this article challenges
the notion that these three leaders of the so-called Global South would be relying on an
all-encompassing cooperative multilateral behavior.
Navigating the Atlantic: Brazil’s defense engagements with Africa in the South Atlantic
Publication . Leal Ribeiro De Albuquerque, Felipe
Brazil’s recent inroads towards Africa reflect one façade of the country’s greater aspirations.
Ranging from technical cooperation projects and a push for dynamic commercial relations to
the promotion of inter-regional dialogues, Brazil’s presence in Africa also comprises initiatives
in the security realm. Not receiving matching attention, endeavors in the security domain
reveal Brazil’s aspiration of building the South Atlantic as a region in which South America and
Africa can foster common ground, preclude extra-regional powers, secure maritime resources
and develop naval defense industry. Amidst this background, I argue Brazil engaged in
securitization practices in order to promote shared understandings and cooperation in both
sides of the South Atlantic. In this work, I confront bilateral cooperation projects with African
partners with the recent multilateral revitalization of the Zone of Peace and Cooperation of the
South Atlantic (ZOPACAS) in order to attest to which extent Brazil was able to succeed in
region-building practices and could conform a coherent grand strategy. The conclusion
confirms the existence of a disconnection between the bilateral and multilateral dimensions of
Brazil’s engagements, which undermines the region-building process and minimizes the ability
of this country to act in the South Atlantic.
Coalition Making and Norm Shaping in Brazil’s Foreign Policy in the Climate Change Regime
Publication . Leal Ribeiro De Albuquerque, Felipe
This work analyses Brazil’s foreign policy in the climate change regime. More specifically,
it focuses on two initiatives that Brazil actively promoted, the BASIC coalition, which
was established at the COP-15 in Copenhagen, and the concentric circles proposal, forwarded
amidst the growing momentum for the COP-21 in Paris. By means of a comparative
analysis, I look into three explanatory factors: (i) the structure of the regime; (ii)
Brazil’s climate-related advantages; and (iii) its diplomatic expertise, for later seeing to
which extent they account for Brazil’s behaviour in climate talks. I conclude that domestic
factors played a more prominent role in the advancement of an individual proposal such
as the concentric circles than on Brazil’s participation at the BASIC.
Recuo em política externa: fatores internos e sistêmicos do retrocesso internacional do Brasil
Publication . Malamud, Andrés
A ascensão do Brasil foi um fenômeno aclamado globalmente e que se desenrolou sob dois governos consecutivos:
o de Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-2002) e o de Lula (2003-2010). Sob Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016), entretanto,
o ativismo externo do Brasil declinou acentuadamente e sua visibilidade internacional perdeu brilho. Isso se
deveu a uma combinação de fatores internos e sistêmicos. Este artigo identifica esses fatores e avalia a sua influência
no intuito de responder a uma questão central: há alguém a ser responsabilizado ou o retrocesso internacional do
Brasil estava fadado a acontecer?
