The amateurism of Brazilian foreign policy
27/03/2006Since & eacute; time of the Bar & atilde, the Rio Branco, in the & iacute; heat of Rep & uacute; Brazilian Republic, pa & iacute; s & effort has been ccedil walk for alkane & ccedil would its place in the sun in the international system. With moments of greater or lesser intensity, what is perceived & eacute; the pa & iacute; s managed to make visa and today approaches a global trader. The big question & HAND which are á emerging & eacute; if al & eacute; m the desire to be more active in the international system, also & eacute; m we introduce preparation and dispositions & ccedil; & HAND it to the. And the answer seems to be n & atilde; the.
The vis & atilde; the good guys good looks n & atilde, the more work l & aacute; out, yet preserve a certain & ccedil is, the inside. Exit conditions & ccedil; & atilde; the peripherals & eacute; rich and venture into project power in the international system has its costs, and their wear. As much as the world is seen as a positive sum game, when we talk about proje & ccedil; & atilde, the power of the zero sum game seems more real. Like this, act like a good lad, bypassing the need to sustain a few inches & iacute; desagrad & aacute optics; LEVELS, can be good for the Diplomas & aacute everyday; tico, but certainly adds little to the proje & ccedil; & atilde, the Brazilian.
In a game in which the interests s & atilde, the very large, aggression must be proportional. J á & Eacute; more than time we learned that the relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international es n & atilde, the friends are much less eternal partners. Everything should be treated topic to topic, and each in their temporal pre & oacute; Pria. Ignore this character & iacute; stica of trades & ccedil; & otilde; s only international tr & aacute; s preju & iacute; zo to pa & iacute; s, both frustrated expectations in Wasted & iacute; cio resources.
V & aacute; s rivers & atilde; the examples that can be raised and showing the amateurism of the ccedil &; & atilde, the Brazilian in relation & ccedil; & otilde; s International. N & HAND makes long pa & iacute; s recited almost un & iacute; beneficially & ssono the iacute; estrus promoting intervention MAKE-HANDS, the Haiti, especially in fun & ccedil; & atilde; the proje & ccedil; & atilde; what that would give Brazil, showing how we are prepared to help in the solution & ccedil; & atilde, the international crises. N & HAND simply the, it also & eacute; m would be the key to our entry as Member permamente the Board of security & ccedil; to the In & ccedil; & otilde; s United. Today not even we remember that Brazilian soldiers remain l & aacute; and n & atilde; we have the id & eacute; ia how we will leave (located in a MAKE-HANDS, the, stored & propose appropriate ccedil; & otilde; es, like the US in Iraq).
Another interesting example & eacute; of the trades & ccedil; & otilde; ampersands Doha. Brazil is putting much of his chips in agriculture, believing that finally the time has come for the world to address this issue. What is v & ecirc; Today & eacute; an intense movement loss is & ccedil; in the & acirc; international scope. In a situation MAKE-HANDS, the EUF & oacute; rich before a j á forgotten G20, a alian & ccedil, the pragm & aacute; tica (and overconfident) with the United States, today we see the n & atilde; s & oacute; insulated with this flag, but also & eacute; m & ccedil object opposition; & HAND the anti-Brazil forward in question & otilde; s liberalization of MAKE-HANDS; with the & eacute; agrochemical & commerce iacute; adhesive. at the end, N & HAND we are able to modify the way to defend the subject agrochemical & iacute; adhesive, we run the risk of staying linked & aggravate; defend something desconfort á vel for the international agenda. We must understand that our flags n & atilde, the can be sustained only in an id & eacute; ia & ccedil justice, the, & Eacute; must also & eacute; m seeking pragmatism and while.
AT & eacute; even indoors, na I & eacute; rica Latina, some are facing more problems s & eacute; rivers. While even fanciful pipeline project between Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil & eacute; announced, the situation is complicated MAKE-HANDS; the j á existing gas pipeline between Bull & iacute; pathway and Brazil, We are showing that we are better to announce large projects than in keeping the j & aacute; existing, as, ali & aacute; s, & Eacute; the case of Mercosur. The Bolivian government has hardened in their speech and openly criticizes the agreement signed with Brazil to purchase g & aacute; s, pointing the low price & ccedil; paid.
The retic & ecirc; government TRENDS in using the power of elements that det & ecirc; m is part of a Driving & ccedil profile; & atilde; the pol & iacute; external optical marking the pa & iacute; s since its independ & ecirc; INSTANCE. A Petrobr & aacute; s & eacute; respons & aacute; vel by 18% Bolivian GDP and accounts for 24% the Tribute & aacute gatherings; rivers that pa & iacute; s and, even so, to preserve the style pol & iacute; foreign and the id & eacute; ia good lad, limited to expect regulates & ccedil; & atilde; the Hydrocarbons Law, of 2005, to decide & aacute; the future of the company and its neg & oacute; heats the Bull & iacute; via.
Other v á rivers examples could be raised, as Auk – neither in its version & atilde; the light can be realized –, Uni-Mercosur according HANDS; Europ & eacute; ia, the Community of Pa & iacute; ses L & iacute; ngua English and so on. Now more important than getting up these examples, & Eacute; urgent eat & ccedil; Armos to examine more carefully what we have done in & acirc; international scope. For a pa & iacute; s you want your SPACE; the sun, learn how the international game and get rid of self-images rom & acirc; nticas & eacute; more than a simple improvement of the ccedil &; & otilde; s International, & Eacute; conditions & ccedil; & atilde, the necessary á ria.
