Abstract

Lula da Silva as the elected Brazil President has brought a new approach to the Brazil’s foreign policy implementation in 2003-2010. Brazil’s foreign policy in this period was focused on the relations between the Souths, either between the countries in South America, Africa, or Asia. Through the South-South relations, Lula’s Administration was trying to build strong alliances by creating balanced bilateral and multilateral relations. Brazil’s effort to intensify the South-South relations were done by promoting cooperation and integration between the Third World Countries. The policies implemented by Brazil included the political aspect, such as building diplomatic relations with countries in Africa and Middle East. Brazil also initiated to strengthen the economic ties between middle-power countries, both in the South American region or other regions. Brazil’s South-South policy was more or less shaped by the international system. Acknowledging the existence of levels between countries in the world, Brazil as a middle country and the regional leader in the system would rationally balance the global power by minimizing the gap of power and escalate its bargaining power through the South-South policy. The writer will elaborate the correlation between the developing international system to Brazil’s South-South policy under the administration of Lula da Silva.
