13. Regions and the Globe: A Spatial-Temporal Framework for Foreign Policy Analysis
Does the regional environment shape a state's international socialization and, thus, its perception on external affairs? If this is the case, how does such a process happen and what are the consequences for a state's global foreign policy? We tackle both questions by elaborating an analytical framework that accounts for spatial-temporal interactions in forei

14. Brazilian Policy and the Creation of a Regional Security Complex in the South Atlantic: Pax Brasiliana?
Abstract Over the past five years, the South Atlantic region has become a central element of Brazilian security policy, with Brazil actively supporting the notion of a trans-oceanic security consciousness involving African littoral states.

16. A Nuclear Submarine in the South Atlantic: The Framing of Threats and Deterrence
Abstract In this article, we analyse one aspect of Brazilian nuclear policy during the tenure of the Workers Party (2003–2016): the development of a nuclear-propelled submarine. We propose that the project of building a nuclear-propelled submarine has become possible partly because of the mobilisation of a set of arguments for the construction of the South

17. Managing Security in a Zone of Peace: Brazil´s Soft Approach to Regional Governance
Abstract Given Brazil’s regional prevalence, its low, late and soft investment in regional security governance appears puzzling. We approach the puzzle through an analysis of contextual features, institutional overlap and policy networks, especially regarding nuclear energy and the environment. Our findings show that Brazil’s behavior is explained by a c

This reality sharply contrasts with the co-operative environment that has gradually formed since 1989. Following the trends towards deepening

22. Domestic coalitions in the FTAA negotiations: the Brazilian case
Abstract This paper proposes an explanation to the domestic coalitions organised in Brazil around the FTAA negotiations, which stand as a hard case for the existing theories on political cleavages: industrialists and trade unions, albeit having shared common interests in the negotiations, did not adopt a joint strategy to foster their positions. The hypothes
