The Washington Dissensus
An insider's perspective on how international politics really works by a former Brazilian Ambassador to the United States
O dissenso de Washington
Como embaixador em Washington, Rubens Barbosa viveu a experiência de acompanhar de perto um longo período do relacionamento entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos sob a ótica de dois governos que desenvolveram políticas externas consideradas distintas. Em `O Dissenso de Washington`, o autor procura apresentar o panorama dessa relação, a partir de fatos vistos como importantes, como as eleições presidenciais com vitória do partido oposicionista, tanto nos Estados Unidos quanto no Brasil; os ataques de 11 de Setembro e a eclosão das guerras no Afeganistão e no Iraque.

Dilemmas of Brazilian Grand Strategy
This is a review of Brazilian grand strategy under President Luiz In?cio Lula da Silva. During Lula's nearly 8 years in office, he has pursued a multi-tiered grand strategy aimed at hastening the transition from unipolarity to a multipolar order in which international rules, norms, and institutions are more favorable to Brazilian interests. Lula has done so by emphasizing three diplomatic strategies: soft-balancing, coalition-building, and seeking to position Brazil as the leader of a more united South America. This strategy has successfully raised Brazil's profile and increased its diplomatic flexibility, but it has also exposed the country to four potent strategic dilemmas that could complicate or undermine its ascent. These touch on issues ranging from anemic macroeconomic performance to rising tensions in Brazil's relationship with the USA. The efficacy of Brazilian grand strategy?and its implications?will be contingent on how Lula's successors address these dilemmas.
