About this scholarly article

Managing Security in a Zone of Peace: Brazil ́s Soft Approach to Regional Governance by Andres Malamud; Isabella Alcañiz is a scholarly article available to read on EtoBox.

Given Brazil's regional prevalence, its low, late and soft investment in regional security governance appears puzzling. We approach the puzzle through an analysis of contextual features, institutional overlap and policy networks, especially regarding nuclear energy and the environment. Our findings show that Brazil's behavior is explained by a combination of low regional risks, scarce domestic resources, a legalistic regional culture of dispute settlement, and transgovernmental networks that substitute for formal interstate cooperation and deep regional institutions.
