Abstract
LECHINI, Gladys and GIACCAGLIA, Clarisa. El ascenso de Brasil en tiempos de Lula ¿Líder regional o jugador global?. Prob. Des [online]. 2010, vol.41, n.163, pp.53-73. ISSN 0301-7036.
Looking at the growing involvement of Brazil in regional and global scenarios under the foreign policy management of President Lula da Silva, this study seeks to answer the following questions: What is the role the Brazilian State seeks to play in the international system? What is the limit of Brazil's international commitments? Does a double standard exist in its global and regional performance? As if we were playing a game in a labyrinth of distorting mirrors, it would seem that Brazil is trying to "blow up" or "minimize" its qualities according to what the circumstances demand.
Keywords : Brazil; foreign policy; regional leadership; middle power; autonomy.
