Brazil's Emerging Role in Global Governance: Health, Food Security and Bioenergy*
نویسنده
چکیده
Ever-expanding global interdependences associated with an increasingly dynamic international order makes the continuous updating of our understanding of the structures and processes of global governance a mandatory task. Emerging sources of authority, such as private regulatory mechanisms, and the emerging power of traditional sources of authority, such as developing states, place the debate advanced by Markus Fraundorfer in Brazil's Emerging Role in Global Governance, Health, Food Security and Bioenergy in the epicenter of any contemporary wellinformed analysis of international relations. Investigating the way in which Brazil has influenced the mechanisms of global governance since the beginning of the twenty-first century, Fraundorfer provides a comprehensive account of the central role played by the country in three different sectors: health, food security and bioenergy. The central argument of the book is that Brazil now occupies a new position in an international context traditionally dominated by developed powers. Unveiling the intricate processes through which this increasing influence is built is the book's central goal. The idea that "Brazil's exercise of power and its subsequent ability to shape the structures and processes in global governance" (pp. 04) was developed on the basis of the country's activities in these three sectors is the departing assumption.
