ABSTRACT

This book has tried to offer an overview of U.S.–Brazil relations in the twentieth century. Its primary concern has been the coverage of the broad range of issues that shape U.S.–Brazil economic and political relations in the last decade. While these issues may appear to transmit a fragmented reality, they also reveal a vivid process of agenda diversification involving governmental and nongovernmental interests; their impact has not necessarily been the same for both countries, however, as these issues affect the United States and Brazil quite differently.
