The aim of this article is to describe the process of adapting the agenda of the Americas Forum to the specific interests of Brazilian foreign policy. The North American initiative for the Americas Forum focused on two major objectives: to open up international trade and to fight against international crime. In both cases, the original North American proposal was inconvenient for Brazil. This article shows how Brazil managed to expand the agenda of the Forum, thereby gaining space for social issues and defending its main interests concerning development and sovereignty.
