Title ProperRise of Brazil as a global development power

Summary / Abstract (Note)Brazil's influence is rising quickly in international affairs. Unlike those of China and India, its foreign policy relies heavily on non-military power-a characteristic of Brazil since at least the early 20th century. A mainstay of this policy has been the pursuit of 'development' for Brazil and the global South, with domestic discourse on the need to 'develop' buttressing this approach. Foreign policy under President Lula (2003-10) did this explicitly; President Rousseff (2011-) shows no signs of changing course. This article analyses three foreign policy issues-South-South cooperation, health, and environment-to demonstrate the use and assess the value of this strategy. Not only is the strategy serving Brazil's national interests well, the analysis reveals, but it is also benefitting other developing countries (albeit asymmetrically), reinforcing Brazil's capacity to influence international affairs.
