Climate obstruction in Brazil under the Bolsonaro administration: Building empirical and conceptual blocks
This paper presents a preliminary cartography of Brazilian organizations and leadership supporting climate change denial, delay, and obstruction politics, responding to two gaps identified in scholarly literature: (i) research in the Brazilian context of climate change is related mainly to pro-environment social movements, environmental management and public policies, foreign policy and diplomacy; (ii) research on climate obstruction widely stems…
Climate Obstruction: A Global Assessment
Climate obstruction involves intentional actions and efforts to slow or block policies on climate change that are commensurate with the current scientific consensus of what is necessary to avoid dangerous human interference with the climate system. With thirty-one lead authors coordinating twelve teams of more than one hundred total authors, this first-of-its-kind volume reviews obstruction efforts undertaken by fossil fuel industries, utilities,…
Antidemocratic Politics and Regional Powers’ Multilateral Foreign Policies: Comparing Brazil and Türkiye
This paper explores how the world crisis currently affecting liberalism and democracy has impacted Brazil’s and Türkiye’s foreign policy in three multilateral issue areas: security, human rights, and climate change. Assuming that a country’s foreign policy echoes the interplay between international and domestic dynamics, it considers two cases of similar escalation of antidemocratic domestic politics – the Bolsonaro administration (2019-2022) and…

From human rights to “righteous humans”: Brazilian foreign policy in the Bolsonaro era
This article questions the widely accepted belief that the institutionalization of human rights norms automatically results in their advancement and safeguarding. Instead, it proposes an alternative view, suggesting that the international human rights framework is intricately entangled with politicization. Focusing on the case of Jair Bolsonaro's presidency in Brazil, we argue that human rights bodies may serve antihuman-rights policies and propa…
How and why European and Chinese pro-climate leadership may be challenged by their strategic economic interests in Brazil
Brazilian Perspectives on Policy Transfer and South-South Cooperation
This paper introduces the dossier entitled 'Policy Transfer and South-South Cooperation'. Very often development cooperation programmes, particularly those labelled as part of South-South cooperation (SSC), use policy transfer as one of their key implementation tools. However, irrespective of cross-cutting dimensions and shared commonalities, both fields of practices have generated research traditions that have followed specific disciplinary (and…
Brazilian Foreign Policy and Family Farming: Internationalisation Processes through the Analysis of 'Forums and Arenas
Brazil's federal government officially defined family farming (FF) as a public policy agenda in 1996; however, since then, Brazil's foreign policy in the field of agriculture has given priority to the role of agribusiness in the export of commodities and its contribution to the country's GDP and trade. While questioning the governmental narrative rooted in a dual agricultural structure (wherein FF and agribusiness would both be similarly relevant…
Southern States in International Development Cooperation: From Contestation to Norm Conception
Why and how do Southern countries conceive norms in the field of international aid and cooperation in an attempt to craft a symbolic regime that challenges Northern-oriented development agendas? To answer this question, this article engages with the literature on the life cycle of norms and goes beyond the earlier concepts of cascade, localisation, subsidiarity, reluctance, rejection, and contestation. As it considers the international–domestic n…
The foundation and development of International Relations in Brazil
This article aims to contribute to the critical understanding of how International Relations (IR) was built as a social science field within Brazil's modern project. I argue that the foundation and the development of IR in Brazil in the twentieth century is closely associated with foreign policy, on the one hand, and with the national geopolitical thinking, particularly in the aftermath of the Second World War, on the other. In its trajectory, Br…
South-South cooperation and foreign policy: Challenges and dilemmas in the perception of Brazilian diplomats
Brazil's government has historically engaged with other developing countries to promote technical cooperation. Since the 1988 federal Constitution, different presidents have paid attention to this foreign policy agenda. However, it was particularly under the Workers' Party's administrations (2003-2016) that South-South cooperation (SSC) gained political ground, rooted in official principles of South-South solidarity, horizontality, non-interferen…
Covid-19 between Global Human Security and Ramping Authoritar-ian Nationalisms
Like other transnational threats such as climate change, the extinction of biological species, SARS or Ebola, the current COVID-19 confronts the modern utopia of rigid borders between nations and contemporary finance-led neoliberal economic models. Acknowledging the complexity of COVID-19's root causes, this paper builds on the contradictions between science, expertise and policy in the definition of global human security, and sketches five possi…
Development cooperation, the international–domestic nexus and the graduation dilemma: Comparing South Africa and Brazil
Development cooperation is a foreign policy tool marked by deep-seated conflicts of interest and dilemmas of particular relevance to second-tier and non-nuclear countries that aim to change their international status and role. Building on the concept of ‘graduation dilemma’, this article compares specific dilemmas that Brazil and South Africa face in their foreign policies concerning the development cooperation agenda at three levels: the domesti…
The sketch of Brazil's grand strategy under the Workers' Party (2003-2016): Domestic and international constraints
After passage of the 1988 Constitution of Brazil, successive democratic governments worked to build bridges between the nation’s foreign policy and its defence strategy, thus fostering a dialogue among administrations and constituencies under the aegis of the rule of law. It was under the Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff administrations that Brazil laid out a grand strategy, implementation of which was interrupted by the controversial impeachment…

L'élection de Bolsonaro, la politique étrangère brésilienne en 2019 et l'avenir de la coopération Sud-Sud
En termes de politique étrangère, l’élection de Jair Bolsonaro présageait un changement important en ce qui concerne les stratégies économiques, commerciales, multilatérales et géopolitiques. Durant les cent premiers jours du gouvernement Bolsonaro, des tensions entre différentes coalitions de soutien (forces armées, acteurs du système judiciaire, églises néo-pentecôtistes, entourage proche du président, etc.) ont émergé, mettant en relief des or…
Brazil's international educational cooperation in African countries: A Case of 'Graduation Dilemma
Brazil's engagement in international development cooperation (IDC) is not new; however, governmental funding and interest in this agenda have grown since the adoption of the 1988 constitution, particularly during the mandates of the two Workers' Party (PT) presidents. Brazil's IDC refers to a broad range of practices including educational, scientific, financial, humanitarian and technical cooperation; in this article, we focus on Brazil's educati…
Brazil's foreign policy and the 'graduation dilemma
The main argument of this article is that second-tier, non-nuclear powers face a ‘graduation dilemma’ whenever their key decision-makers have the opportunity and the objective to choose between different international strategies: between a more autonomist type of development or a more dependent one; in security terms, between bandwagoning and balancing; when building a multilateral policy, between traditional alliances and innovative, flexible co…
The Politics of Brazilian Foreign Policy and Its Analytical Challenges
Starting from the perspective that foreign policy is a public policy, this article discusses the conceptual and political implications of the new configuration of Brazilian foreign policy. Therefore, we abandon its automatic association with the cruder versions of realism and bring it to the field of politics, thus recognizing that its formulation and implementation fall into the dynamics of governmental choices which, in turn, stem from negotiat…

Brazil's Human Rights Foreign Policy: Domestic Politics and International Implications
This paper analyses the approach to human rights in Brazilian foreign policy agendas since President Fernando Henrique Cardoso's first mandate. It discusses institutional arrangements arising from domestic processes of democratisation, as well as from human rights regime changes that have occurred regionally and globally. The paper's key contention is that the foreign policy changes—both in emphasis and positioning—which took place after 2003 wer…
Brazil's foreign policy (2003-2010) towards the IMF: Rhetorical and political change during Lula government
Brazil experienced significant financial turbulence in the 1990s, which made the Fernando Henrique Cardoso government seek assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in times of relatively collaborative and non-conflicting relationship with this agency. Lula’s arrival in power raised a series of political questions on how his government would interact with the Fund. The objective of this article is to discuss Brazil’s foreign policy to…

Ao considerarmos a política externa como política pública, rompemos sua associação automática com as versões mais cruas do realismo e a trazemos para o terreno da politics, ou seja, reconhecemos que sua form…

Transnational Social Movements and the Globalization Agenda: A methodological approach based on the analysis of the World Social Forum
Globalization is not merely a competition for market shares and well-timed economic growth initiatives; neither is it just a matter of trade opportunities and liberalization. It has also evolved into a social and political struggle for imposing cultural values and individual preferences. Based on this broader context, this paper adopts the following assumption: transnational networks of social movements are the expression of a new social subject …

Ecologia política, movimentos ambientalistas e contestação transnacional na América Latina

Defensores da idéia de que as relações internacionais emergem exclusivamente da interação entre entidades políticas soberanas e independentes contrapõem-se aos que sustentam a centralidade na agenda ecopolítica de muitos outros atores para além do Estado. Ou seja, os princípios da soberania incondicio…

Expressions of international contestation and mechanisms of democratic control
In this article, the authors examine various questions regarding the new expressions of international contestation, analysing answers and reactions from states to the emergence of non-governmental actors opposed to the present world order who claim to propose alternatives to neo-liberal governance. To do so, the authors identify some of the more visible movements of contestation against economic globalisation, like the Seattle, Prague, and Genoa …

Développement durable, contestation et légitimité: La Perspective Des Mouvements Altermondialistes
La critique des résultats peu contraignants du processus de Rio sur le développement durable passe nécessairement par la reconnaissance de l’incapacité du modèle économique actuel à résoudre les problèmes socio-environnementaux qu’il engendre. Du coup il n’est pas surprenant que les acteurs de la contestation transnationale s’emparent de ce sujet et proposent la redéfinition d’une problématique fondée cette fois-ci sur la prise en compte d’une mu…
