DRI, CLARISSA FRANZOI y PITTAS, TIAGO MOCELLIN. The Building of Deliberative-Instrumental Regionalism: an Analysis of Sectoral Cooperation in Latin America (1991-2015). Revista SAAP [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.1, pp.11-20. ISSN 1853-1970. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.46468/rsaap.14.1.a1.
This paper intends to offer a panorama of Brazil’s cooperative relations with her neighbors and to propose an assessment of regional integration focused on political and social dimensions. In order to do so, norms ema- nating from decisional organs of Mercosul, Unasur and CELAC since their creation until 2015 were categorized, so that we could verify the number of agreements in each sector. The most recurrent topics were selected for quali- tative analysis seeking to unveil Brazilian regional strategies. The conclu- sion points out to the presence of a deliberative and instrumental regional- ism. Results show that Brazil has instrumentalized regional cooperation in order to reinforce her international leadership. Nevertheless, integration beyond trade and economics, which was the goal announced by left-wing governments, was partially achieved and did allow for the building of a struc- tured regional dialogue in new areas.
