Sinopsis
Mexico has the material resources to be considered an emerging power, given the size of
its economy, population, geography and other aspects. However, the country has
displayed a limited capacity to project leadership, both at the international and at the
regional level. Drawing on a number of comparisons with Brazil (the largest economy in
Latin America) and other BRICS countries, this paper shows how Mexico has failed to
use its existing resources to become more influential in multilateral institutions,
particularly within the United Nations. This paper argues that not only Mexican
diplomats but also the economic and political elites in the country have been reluctant for
the country to act as an emerging power on the world stage. Unlike Brazil, with its strong
international identity, Mexico is conditioned by its proximity to and economic dependence
on the US. It has failed to position itself as a bridge between the South and the North and
it has lacked a coherent long-term foreign policy. In addition, a weak Secretariat of
Foreign Affairs and a poorly coordinated, decentralised diplomatic corps with insufficient
personnel and resources have also undermined Mexico’s international performance.

Sinopsis
While scholars, activists and pundits from around the world have heralded the Lula years as a breakthrough for poverty reduction and the forthcoming emergence of Brazil as a dynamic economic superpower, many of their counterparts in the country as well as a number of Brazilianists elsewhere, have expressed great disappointment.
Tracing back the trajectory of Brazilian Workers’ Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores – PT), Hernán F. Gómez Bruera explores how holding national executive public office contributed decisively to a pragmatic shift away from the party’s radical redistributive and participatory platform, earning the approbation of international audiences and criticisms of domestic progressives. He explains why a unique party, which originally promoted a radical progressive agenda of socio-economic redistribution and participatory democracy, eventually adopted an orthodox economic policy, formed legislative alliances with conservative parties, altered its relationship with social movements and relegated the participatory agenda to de sidelines.
Touching on multiple dimensions, from economic policy and land reform to social policy, this book offers a distinct explanation as to why progressive parties of mass-based origin shift to the center over time and alter their relationships with their allies in civil society. Written in a clear and accessible style and featuring an enormous wealth of firsthand accounts from party leaders at all levels and within different factions, Gómez Bruera offers much needed new insights into why progressive parties alter their discourses and strategies when they occupy executive public office.
