Entre aproximações e rupturasas guinadas na integração regional

Resumo

Regional integration fluctuates in terms of ideas between Bolívar and Monroe. With rapprochements and ruptures, cooperation occurs within the margins provided by the liberal political economy, the ground of integrationist processes. Within this dynamic, Brazilian foreign policy has currently undergone another sharp correction. From 2016 onwards, the concern of the Brazilian chancellery was to undo what had been done by the previous one. The rupture with the model prevailing until then demonstrates the recovery of an automatic alignment behavior, associated to the great Western powers, such as the United States and its sphere of influence, to the detriment of the autonomy and pragmatism of previous administrations. In this new context, new forums for integration have emerged, such as Forum for the Progress of South America (PROSUR), while
 others have declined, such as Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), and yet others have been redirected, such as Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR). These changes take place in an international context of economic crisis and an evident sharp increase in geopolitical tensions regarding the dispute for hegemony. Therefore, this article has two objectives: a broader one, 
 which is to relate Brazilian foreign policy to the current panorama of capitalism (post-Cold War 
 and post-Fordism), and a more specific one, within this scope, to point out the transformations that 
 have occurred in terms of regional integration since 1991. From the perspective of the materialist 
 theory of the State, the article aims to dispel appearances in order to arrive at the essence of the 
 phenomenon of foreign policy for regional integration in capitalism.
