Becoming Brazilian

Brazil in the Uruguay Round of the GATT
First published in 1998, this volume analyses Brazil’s strategy in the Uruguay Round, focusing on the issue of services. Three different moments were chosen for analysis. The first was during discussions before the launch of the Uruguay Round. During this period, Brazil led the Less Developed Countries (LDCs), in obstructing the inclusion of services on the agenda. The Second was during the launch of the Uruguay Round, when Brazil persisted with this policy. This second period is referred to as the initial position of Brazil in the Uruguay Round. The third was Montreal, in 1988, when Brazil supported the principles which guided an agreement on services. After this turning point, Brazil’s position in the Round was increasingly supportive of an agreement, not only in services, but in all fields.
In the Shadow of the Generals
Providing an in-depth study of the construction of foreign policy in developing countries, Martin Mullins takes an original line of both a post-positivist methodology and an acceptance of the importance of the realism in foreign policy formation in the Southern Cone countries from the early 1980s to the present day. This carefully constructed work highlights the case of Chilean foreign policy in the 1990s in order to examine the adoption of realism in its policy formation, in contrast to the strong historical narratives of Argentina and Brazil. The volume focuses on the nuances of foreign policy making through a comprehensive study of political culture that underlines the links between domestic and foreign policy sets in the region.
