Por qué no les callan: Hugo Chávez’s Reelection and the Decline of Western Hegemony in the Americas
On October 7, 2012, Hugo Chávez was comfortably reelected president of Venezuela. Just days before the vote, the impression given by major international print media was that it would be close, an assessment that proved to be at best optimistic. Western media coverage of the election in Venezuela was designed to skew the result toward the opposition, and this effort singularly failed. The "propaganda model" advanced by Herman and Chomsky is now fa…
Brazil in the World: The International Relations of a South American Giant
The new actors of Brazilian foreign policy
Brazil as a bridge between old and new powers
Brazilian foreign policy demonstrates an interesting double aspect in the changing global system. Its rhetoric and overt positioning is framed around the idea of Brazil as a value-creating actor, while in reality there are significant value-claiming characteristics at the core of its approach to regional and global affairs. The key for Brazil is its position as a ‘bridge’ between the South and the North, which allows its diplomats to establish th…
Brazil, the Entrepreneurial and Democratic BRIC
By most objective metrics, Brazil is the least imposing of the BRICs countriesless populous than China and India, slower-growing in recent years than China, India, or Russia, and the only member of the group lacking nuclear weapons. We argue that Brazil's material capabilities are more significant than commonly supposed. Moreover, Brazil's democratic transition in the mid-1980s, along with that of its neighbors, has for the first time enabled Bra…
Consensual Hegemony: Theorizing Brazilian Foreign Policy after the Cold War
Conventional approaches to hegemony emphasize elements of coercion and exclusion, characteristics that do not adequately explain the operation of the growing number of regional projects or the style of emerging-power foreign policy. This article develops the concept of consensual hegemony, explaining how a structure can be articulated, disseminated and maintained without relying on force to recruit the participation of other actors. The central i…
Without Sticks or Carrots: Brazilian Leadership in South America During the Cardoso Era, 1992-2003
Throughout the Fernando Henrique Cardoso presidency Brazil actively pursued a South American leadership project. The distinctive and central feature of this policy was its attempt to operate without the coercion or explicit payoffs often associated with 'leading' in mainstream international relations literature. Instead, efforts were devoted to constructing an inclusive project that sought extended and unconscious cooperation from other states th…
Auto-Estima in Brazil: The Logic of Lula's South-South Foreign Policy
Less than two weeks after Luiz Inacio LuIa da Suva was sworn in as president of Brazil, his newly appointed foreign minister, Celso Amorim, was asked what would change in his country's foreign policy. For seasoned national observers the reply that Brazil would take an active role in world affairs was a bit of a disappointment, representing little more than a reaffirmation of the country's longstanding position of pushing multilateralism as a devi…
Form Before Function: Democratization in Paraguay
While there has been substantial progress in democratizing Paraguay, the country's daily reality remains marred by the still-strong remnants of the "iron triangle" that characterized relations between the Colorado Party, the state and the armed forces. By concentrating on the Wasmosy presidency's failure to implement truly effective institutional reform, this paper advances the proposition that the overthrow of a dictator and the staging of open …
