description: Brazil and Latin Between the Separation and Integration Paths challenges the separatist bias in the vision of Brazilian relations with its Latin American neighbors. By exploring the parallel existence of a path of integration the focus of this study is on those forces which have intended to forge different forms of alignment integration and sometimes rightward union between Brazil and different Latin American countries. The authors analyze the ideas and projects inherent in the mindset of elites even before independence. They show that the path of integration has been more influential than is generally known. Ultimately this book demonstrates the complexity around policy-making debates on foreign policy and the history of shaping the Brazilian self.
