Revisionism of relations with the United States and its variables in progressive governments in South America. This paper Identifies and analyzes the different types of revisionist politics, and its levels, developed by progressive governments in South America toward the United States over the past 13 years. For such, it uses as starting points concepts that are fundamental for better understanding the behavior of South American countries in relation with the great power: 'peripheral revisionism,' by Cesar Guimaraes, and 'autonomous confrontation' and 'antagonistic confrontation,' both by Hello Jaguarlbe. From the developments of these concepts, a theoretical model was developed with different types of peripheral revisionisms, which allowed for fine-tuning the classifications of foreign policies in the period.

The aim of this article is to analyze the current dynamics of South American integration and the role played by Brazil in the region. The formation of Unasur evidences the projection of new themes and issues in regional cooperation, among which, the dimensions of security, infrastructure and financing. The projection of these issues opens up the possibility of change in historical dilemmas of cooperation and integration in South America and can offer new indications about the direction Brazilian foreign policy seeks to confer on regional integration. We intend to examine whether the sense of cooperation in South America has changed with the formation of Unasur, and to what extent it is possible to build a regional integration process that aims to strengthen national autonomy.

We have analyzed the political legitimacy of democracy in Latin America with Latinobarometro's data, which is a survey about attitudes and values that has been applied annually since 1996 in 18 countries of the region, in two axes: one methodological and the other theoretical. On the one hand, we contribute to the empirical validation of the concept and its differents operationalizations, while aligning our results to the wider debate. And, in the theoretical field, our results allow us to broaden the debate on the relationship between legitimacy and democratic stability.

The article analyzes the evolution of regionalism in Latin America from the 1990s. It exhibits the options that consider to the countries in their foreign policies against the initiatives of the United States and the changes in the international system.

This article analyses Brazilian foreign policy focusing on relations with the United States of America and South America. It develops the three pillars of the new foreign policy of Brazil: democracy (where national interests become more transparent and new actors emerge in the international relations of Brazil), regional integration (that starts with Mercosul, follows with the new processes of physical integration and ends, currently, with Unasul) and its relation of interdependence with globalization (reflected in the economic outputs of the country).

The aim of this article is to analyze Brazil's foreign policy towards the South American region during President Lula's administration. As such, the article intends to highlight two specific dimensions: the extent to which foreign policy during this period has differed from previous periods and the relative importance granted by Brazilian diplomacy to recent cooperation and integration efforts, more specifically the Unasur and Mercosur. The article argues that the Lula administration has behaved differently from its predecessors by prioritizing the building up of Brazilian leadership in South America on several different fronts, especially by strengthening multilateral institutions in the region.

Since last years, Latin America has been characterized for some sociopolitical changes. In this article, we defend that the continuities has been so relevant as the changes.

Adapted from the source document.

This article offers an evaluation of the United States relationship with Latin America during Bush's two terms at the White House. We argue that the main trend of the Bush administration in Latin America has been a process of "hemispheric disengagement" which has led to the erosion of American influence in the region, a problem that the next President will have to address, be he a Democrat or a Republican.
