Brazil-Uruguay strategic partnership; Brazilian international insertion; regional integration
Abstract :
[en] The objective of this article is to analyze the strategic partnership between Brazil and Uruguay
in the years 2003-2014 from the perspective of Brazilian international insertion. In order to do
this three main aspects are considered: the limits and potentials of Brazil as a regional power,
the context of South American regional politics and the strategy of the government of Lula da
Silva and Rousseff administrations regarding these issues. The article is guided by a multi-scale
approach, also focusing on some domestic and external dynamics of Brazilian foreign policy. It is
noted that the above-mentioned strategic partnership acquired great relevance to the Brazilian
proposal of integration, as well as to its national development goals, giving field to considerable
advances in both ventures, since it is compatible with the idea of international insertion of Brazil
and with its structural limitations.
