- Title
Understanding International Partnership: The Complicated Rapprochement between the United States and Brazil.
- Authors
Corrales, Javier
- Abstract
The article looks at Brazil-U.S. relations, focusing on the strengthening of the relationship over the past ten years in the context of Brazil's growing international prominence. The author notes that under certain international relations theories, the U.S., as the most powerful country in the Western Hemisphere, would be unlikely to develop closer relations with a rising power in the region such as Brazil, and presents a case for why the U.S.-Brazil partnership has grown. He draws a comparison to U.S.-British relations around the turn of the 20th century. Topics include policy areas of agreement and disagreement between the two countries, the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) commercial treaty, and left-leaning regimes and international relations within Latin America.
