| Summary: | In last 20 years, Brazil sought alternatives to boost its projection in the world stage and one of these paths was the reorientation of its foreign policy which valued South-South relations. These relations are characterized by commercial ties, political alignment and technical cooperation agreements with peripheral and emerging countries. We understand the foreign policy and South-South cooperation as a form of geopolitical exercise of hegemonic projection and that the incentives to the cooperation agreements were part of a projection that would territorialize the global strategies of a State. Throughout 2003-2010, the Africa continent was the target of this Brazilian South-South foreign policy strategy, thus receiving great part of the technical cooperation investments. Therefore, we present a cartography of the main areas of the technical cooperation and demonstrate that, as a whole, it expresses a geopolitical trend that broadens diplomatic relations with other countries of African continent, beyond those already consolidated partners – the Portuguese-speaking countries. |
