Contents
The international system has been moving from a unipolar to an increasingly multipolar system over the past 15 years. The rise of new powers, often summarized under the key word ‘BRICS’ (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) has been a key element of the fundamental changes the international system has been undergoing. As a member of the BRICS group and a regional power in South America, Brazil has gained considerable clout in international affairs and has had an active role in shaping the emerging multipolar order. The seminar will look at the global power shifts and the rise of new powers in the international system and explore Brazil’s role and position in the newly emerging global order. How has Brazil positioned itself in the international community? What are the foreign policy goals of this rising power? Which instruments does it use to pursue its foreign policy objectives?
The seminar is located at the intersection between International Relations Theory, foreign policy analysis and area studies. It will give the student insights into current developments in the international system and the foreign policies of emerging powers – exemplified by the study of the rising power Brazil.
