Working Papers - Programa Integracion from Argentine Center of International Studies

Abstract: Presentation and analysis of the regional diplomacy of Luis Inácio Lula da Silva’s government (2003-2006), with a brief description of the main issues ofthe Brazilian diplomatic agenda, either multilateral or regional. This historical essaystarts by the identification of the main intellectual sources of the Workers Partythinking, and by the analysis of the foreign relations issues at the three presidentialelections (1989, 1994 e 1998) in which Lula was candidate, before winning theelections of 2002. The paper then concentrates in the various aspects of Lula’s regionaldiplomacy. Important questions are the “regional leadership” role for Brasil and itsimplications for the relationship with Argentina, the consolidation and expansion (still tobecome real) of Mercosur towards an “integrated South-American space”, as reflectedin the South-American Community of Nations, and, finally, the FTAA negotiations,unfinished up to now.
