Especially the United Nations

Post by 66chandona »

If Brazil wants to revitalize its projection, it should take a more active role, for example, in the expansion of what is considered the "BRICS plus": so far, the engines for the inclusion of new members are China and Brazil, but these they have been playing a relatively passive role. It will be necessary to see if Brazil wants or can invest in reinvigorating the weak IBSA, whose last relevant declaration was that of 2011. The forums that were once sponsored by Brazil, such as the meetings of the South American countries with the Arab world and with Africa, have been prostrate for more than five years, in part because of the self-destruction of Unasur, which had Brazil as a relevant protagonist of the collapse, and because of the country's withdrawal from Celac.

Relocating once again in Unasur the South American convergence special data on issues such as defense and public health, now adding climate change, depends on the reactivation and updating of Brazilian regional diplomacy and an effective de-ideologization of the subregional spheres of agreement. Re-stimulating regional engagement forums requires political will, material resources, and substantive agendas that include the voices of non-state actors.

It is probable that the Lula government is willing to recreate those spaces, but it is difficult to think that it will be able to do it unilaterally. In this sense, it will be necessary to observe to what extent the neighborhood (Mercosur, South America, Latin America) accompanies Brazil in this effort and to what extent Brazil summons its neighbors. New guidelines for reciprocity, inclusion, and distribution will be necessary if this effort is to ensure legitimate regional leadership. In addition, it will be very important that, in parallel, certain bilateral dialogues be deepened, especially those that reinforce Brasilia's commitment to regional peace.
