BRIGAGAO, Clóvis. Brazil: international relations with the United States and South America. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2011, n.29, pp.83-90. ISSN 1645-9199.

This article analyses Brazilian foreign policy focusing on relations with the United States of America and South America. It develops the three pillars of the new foreign policy of Brazil: democracy (where national interests become more transparent and new actors emerge in the international relations of Brazil), regional integration (that starts with Mercosul, follows with the new processes of physical integration and ends, currently, with Unasul) and its relation of interdependence with globalization (reflected in the economic outputs of the country).

Keywords : Brazilian foreign policy; United States; South America; regional integration.
