Um histórico das relações bilaterais entre Brasil e Venezuela (2003-2016): aproximação ou distanciamento?

Abstract

For a long time relations between Brazil and Venezuela were considered null or almost nonexistent. This picture began to change in 1979 with the joint statement of a memorandum dealing with common interests, peace issues and cooperation. The main objective of this monograph is to elucidate the evolution of the foreign policies of Brazil and Venezuela from the construction of a historical scope of their international relations, seeking to understand their internal and external panoramas, as well as the factors that shaped their positions in the geopolitical board. It will also make a comparison of the guidelines of its foreign policies, showing the main common aspects of the aforementioned nations, in order to illustrate the main historical events and with that, to prove the unprecedented moment in their bilateral relations, which is confirmed by the conformation of the strategic alliance in 2005.
