“…De allí que la estrategia de influencia de Brasilia consistió entonces en liderar estos espacios pero impulsando la acción colectiva dentro de foros que no tuvieran una fuerza contraignante demasiado grande. Como consecuencia, el liderazgo de Brasil en estos foros fue analizado como una estrategia de "hegemonía consensual", en los términos definidos por Burges, pero aplicado fuera de América Latina (Abdenur, Mattheis, Seabra, 2016).…”

“…Todos coinciden de alguna manera con el hecho de que dentro de estos espacios interregionales Brasil a través de su discurso intenta construir una identidad colectiva común (Carvalho Pinto, 2015;Ferabolli, 2017). Para algunos, esta estrategia de difusión se articula sobre elementos ideacionales (Carvalho Pinto, 2015), para otros se apoya en una dimensión "exclusióninclusión" (Abdenur, Mattheis, Seabra, 2016). Analizando el caso de ASPA, Pinto identificó tres etapas por las cuales Brasil organizaba su discurso hacia sus socios árabes: primero movilizaba una dimensión simbólica, a la vez histórica y cultural, después presentaba las propuestas y las creencias o valores de la cooperación Sur-Sur que Brasil vehicula y al final presentaba la evaluación de los benéficos políticos.…”

El diálogo interregional existente entre África y América Latina ha sido marcado por momentos de fuertes interacciones y otros de distanciamiento. A partir del año 2006 se inicia un período de aceleración de estos lazos marcado por la creación del foro Cumbre América del Sur-África (ASA) y por la revitalización de la Zona de Paz y de Seguridad en el Atlántico Sur (ZOPACAS) impulsados por Brasil. Este artículo cuestiona la relevancia estratégica que tuvieron estos foros interregionales afro-sur-americanos en la política exterior de Brasil y en su estrategia de inserción internacional durante el período 2006-2013, año de la última Cumbre del ASA en Malabo y a partir del cual se inicia una etapa de desaceleración. Se argumenta que el dinamismo que conoció el diálogo interregional entre las dos costas del Atlántico Sur ofreció nuevos espacios de acción en los cuales Brasil ejerció un liderazgo promoviendo a la vez sus propios intereses e impulsando una difusión de ideas (ideational diffusion) a través de una acción retórica.

“…The Brazilian engagement with Namibia is paradigmatic in that regard. Present on the ground since 1994, the Brazilian Navy took charge of building up its Namibian counterpart through a combination of training opportunities, sale of military hardware, and provision of maritime scientific know-how, while remaining a key partner until today (Seabra 2016). This successful experience then led to recent attempts to replicate the same model in Cape Verde, through the establishment of the Brazilian Naval Mission in August 2013, in charge of assessing local needs.…”

“…Once the country's economic crisis began to take its toll in 2015, however, the willingness and capabilities made available plummeted. The lack of any kind of permanent structure that would allow a more regular workload and ensure a steady flow of interactions further brought such structural dependence into light (Abdenur et al 2016). The indefinite postponement of the following ministerial meeting scheduled to have taken place in Cape Verde in 2015 further attests to this bleak assessment.…”

Abstract:In the broader context of regional studies, the South Atlantic comes across as a singular, yet still understudied case study for the formation, evolution, and regression of security regionalism dynamics. More so when South Atlantic countries have come to engage in increased regionally focused interactions through wider defence co-operation ties. However, they have also steadfastly eschewed any kind of permanent structures and shared sovereignty over sensitive security issues. This article strives to ascertain the limits and prospects of these regional security dynamics in the South Atlantic. With the focal points set on both South American and African shores, I pinpoint key overtures in this area and question their contribution to advancing an overall regionalisation process. Despite shared threat perceptions and an absence of major intra-regional conflicts, I argue that South Atlantic security regionalism lacks a stable and permanent structure inasmuch as it lacks real autonomy from the dictums of external regional powers, thus leaving the transatlantic space still in flux.

South–South cohesiveness versus South–South rhetoric: Brazil and Africa at the UN General Assembly

South-South relations have regained widespread interest in recent years, together with increasingly visible stances on international stages. Brazil's interactions with the African continent, in particular, came to epitomise such a perception while sustaining an expectation of mutual alignment in several global issues. However, these assumptions still lack empirical corroboration. Drawing on United Nations General Assembly voting data for the 1991-2013 timeframe, this article questions a supposed South-South solidarity at the multilateral institution with the largest global representation and identifies key thematic axes that incite greater collective stances. The analysis further sheds light on whether or not a common SouthSouth agenda has emerged over time.
