Description:The transformations of the international system since the late 1980s have significantly altered the position of the countries in the international system, especially in the case of so-called regional powers. Faced with this changing global order, there are great opportunities, but also serious international challenges for gestation and consolidation of a development project, combining economic growth, social inclusion, and reduction of inequalities and promotion of democracy. In these macro-issues, the project seeks to expand and consolidate international academic cooperation already established with partners from different universities, forming a research network around three dimensions of Brazil's international insertion and in perspective compared with other regional powers: foreign policy, processes regionalism and international cooperation. The Political Science Program has faculty-researchers working in the field of international relations and foreign policy analysis recognized nationally and internationally as specialists of excellence. Foreign policy ties internal needs and demands to external opportunities and challenges. It is necessary to assess the country's diplomatic capacities for the projection of political and economic interests, the domestic institutions involved, and the coalitions of support and veto in society. Such research demands a comparative focus with other emerging countries that also experience new challenges and leverage in their respective external policies. In the area of ​​regionalism, the challenges are even greater in view of the considerable interests of the countries in the region, their specific weight due to the differential of economic and military capabilities vis-à-vis their neighbors, etc. The comparative dimension is necessary since the regional insertion of the emerging countries is not homogeneous. Finally, international development cooperation, especially in its south-south dimension, is an important tool in the international relations of emerging powers. In order to contemplate the research objectives, it is fundamental to expand our international partnerships.
