South-South Relations in Brazil’s Response to the Challenges of Globalization

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: International Political Economy Series ((IPES))

Abstract

Under the governments led by president Lula and the Worker’s Party (PT) from 2003 Brazil has been pursuing a foreign policy strategy in which South-South cooperation has become a centerpiece in its responses to the challenges of globalization. South-South cooperation refers to cooperation at two levels, namely the regional Latin American level and the extra-regional level. This aspect of Brazil’s foreign policy differs substantially from the strategies pursued by the Brazilian governments in the 1990s, when Brazil emphasized its relations with the United States, the European Unuion (EU), and its regional partners in Mercosur while it de-emphasized relations with Africa, China, and other developing countries (Cervo, 2003, pp. 5–7). The most salient aspect of this foreign policy shift has been the strong emphasis put on relations with extra-regional countries such as China, India, and South Africa.
