RI90692019-11-15T21:32:17Z Brazil as a BRICS in the Shaping of the South American Region and Global Politics Brasil's geopolitical lever in the shaping of the South American regional and global politics Salgado Espinoza, Raúl BRICS Brasil América del Sur Liderazgo regional global BRICS Brazil South America Global and Regional leadership The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) states as emerging powers have positioned themselves as the leading regional international actors and together are challenging the unilateral world leadership. This article presents the argument that the prospect of being a BRICS state helps each nation to project itself as a political world player, but could torpedo the projection of positioning as a regional leader as in the case of Brazil in the South American region. Other factors such as the influence of external economic, political and military forces might contribute to slowing down and even constraining the consolidation of Brazil as a leader of the region. In order to illustrate this, this article employs Modelski’s geopolitical model to explain the rise and decline of world powers in combination with some elements of the Positioning Theory. The evidence is based on a set of qualitative data and employs a qualitative content analysis for analyzing and interpreting the data. Los estados BRICS (Brasil, Rusia, India, China y Suráfrica) como potencias emergentes se han posicionado como los actores internacionales que lideran regionalmente y conjuntamente están retando al liderazgo unilateral del planeta. Este artículo argumenta que el prospecto de ser un estado de los BRICS corrobora a cada nación para proyectarse como un world political player. Pero, esto puede torpedear la proyección de posesionarse como líder regional como en el caso brasilero en la región suramericana. Otros factores como la influencia de las economías, aspectos políticos y militares extra-regionales podrían contribuir en el decline y posiblemente en el constreñimiento de la consolidación de Brasil como líder de la región. Para ilustrar esta propuesta este artículo hace uso del modelo geopolítico de Modelski que ayuda a explicar la emergencia y caída de potencias mundiales. La propuesta de este modelo está combinado con elementos de la teoría de posicionamiento, Positioning Theory. La evidencia está compuesta de un conjunto de datos cualitativos y se emplea análisis cualitativo de contenido para la interpretación de la data Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica 2016-09-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/ri/article/view/9069 10.15359/ri.89-2.8 Relaciones Internacionales; Vol. 89 No. 2 (2016): Relaciones Internacionales; 165-189 Relaciones Internacionales; Vol. 89 Núm. 2 (2016): Relaciones Internacionales; 165-189 2215-4582 1018-0583 spa https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/ri/article/view/9069/10583 Derechos de autor 2016 Relaciones Internacionales |
