About this book

Brazil has risen. Its economic might and international activism are remarkable, but the limitations to its capacity and will to turn potential power into concrete international influence are equally significant. This book assesses the real impact of the rise of Brazil on other Latin American countries, and how these countries have responded. 

Reviews

“This is a much needed volume that seriously - and often provocatively - explores the emergence of Brazil as a “middle power” in Latin America.  The authors, all established specialists, explore the implications and challenges of Brazil’s rise and offer intelligent analysis of the myriad scenarios that may or may not play out in the 21st century.” (Riordan Roett, Director of the Latin American Studies Program, Johns Hopkins University)

“For many years Brazil has been considered one of the emerging powers in Latin America. This book is a successful attempt to shed light upon the different perceptions in the countries of our region in the last decade.” (Patricia Espinosa Cantellano, Minister of Foreign Affairs (2006-2012), Mexico)

“This book is really an interesting and overdue contribution. The topic of the interactions between Brazil as a regional power and its neighbours is of interest both for specialists on Latin America and for scholars on rising/regional powers.” (Detlef Nolte, Director of the GIGA Institute of Latin American Studies, Hamburg, Germany)
