Brazil is an actor who tries to take a greater role in this new configuration. Our dissertation subject is the prospect of a possible Brazilian leadership in the process of regional integration in South America. Our goal is to analyze the kind of leadership Brazil plays in the regional integration process of the creation of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR). This research also aims (i) to contextualize the globalization process, the post-Cold War world and how this new context allowed the emergence of regional blocs and new political leaderships; (ii) to present the history of diplomatic relations between Brazil and South America and the recent turning of the country towards the region, including the creation of UNASUR, UNILA and the Initiative for the Integration of South American Regional Infrastructure (IIRSA) as initiatives that had Brazilian leadership and at the same time shows that Brazil has found a way to overcome resistance to this leadership; (iii) discuss geopolitical and border issues in the region, because these issues have a great impact on the process of building regional leadership, specifically the reluctance of its neighbors to accept Brazil's leadership role; and finally (iv) to discuss what are the alternatives that are possible to Brazil in view of its hard-power deficit. This is a bibliographical and document-based research, based on documents of UNASUR, UNILA and IIRSA, and authors such as Burges, Deutsch, Hurrell, Malamud, Vizentini, among others. We found that Brazil seeks to build its regional leadership in order to achieve a greater role in the new world configuration. This leadership is based mainly in soft-power, with Brazil trying to obtain a consensual hegemony in the region, since the country lacks the hardpower means.

A abertura de dezenas de novos cursos universitários e a introdução da disciplina em cursos de Economia, Comércio Internacional, Ciências Sociais, Direito e Jornalismo respondem aos desafios da inserção do país na economia globalizada. Relações internacionais-Teoria e história pode ser considerada uma obra de introdução ao campo das relações internacionais. Seu foco está direcionado para as escolas de pensamento, as teorias e os conceitos que pretendem oferecer explicações para as políticas dos Estados nas interações com os demais Estados. As sucessivas tiragens demonstram o sucesso e a importância da obra, sendo esta fundamental para todos os que já iniciaram ou pretendem iniciar seus estudos na área de Relações Internacionais.
