Brazil, Guyana and “non-indifference principle”
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 17
Abstract
Brazil's ties with its South American neighbours have been marked by a hybrid of cordiality and cooperation on the one hand, and responsibility and pragmatism on the other. Thus, the relationship between Brazil and Guyana seeks to generate prosperity and cohesion in South America, while aimed at promoting regional development in the Amazon. The aim of this paper is to understand the "non-indifference" as a principle of Brazilian South American policy and a road map of international relations of Brazil in its neighbourhood and surroundings. The non-indifference, as a belief-idea, would support Brazilian-Guyanese historical relations, explaining why Brazil approached a country considered by many as low political and economic relevance in South America, but that has gained importance into the Brazilian reading on regional integration.
