Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 37
Abstract
This article analyzes Brasil’s position in the international system at present, when the system has been reshaped by the weakening of regional actors such as the European Union or Brazil itself. Three levels of analysis are considered: the international order, the regions with ongoing integration processes and the national State. With regards to the Brazilian case the article studies the recent domestic changes and their impact on the country’s foreign policy, as well as the estrangement from South America y rapprochement with United States as a global actor, with Panamerican positions that Brazil had not assumed during several decades. Finally, the article builds five prospective scenarios and concludes that in the near future Brazil does not have many chances to become a powerful actor with strategic importance in the world system.
