What is the relation between Brazilian Foreign Policy and the implementation of bilateral technical cooperation projects in African Countries? Lessons from a South-South cooperation project implemented by the Brazilian National School of Public Administration - ENAP (2009-2012)

Abstract

Based on the "street-level" and the "theory of the bureaucracy" approaches, the article contends that national bureaucracies may play an important role in explaining the relation between Brazilian foreign policy and international technical cooperation. Drawing lessons from a 2009 ENAP-ISAP project in Mozambique, we concluded that the Brazilian National School of Public Administration-ENAP's interests and autonomy in the implementation process may influence Brazilian bilateral relations.

International dialogical action: the decolonial potential of structuring cooperation in health promoted by Brazil

“…Those interviewed by Dri and Silva (2019) were mostly employees of the Centre of Excellence Against Hunger, while the protagonism of technicians and their sectorial expertise were listed by Milani and Lopes (2014) and Esteves and Assunção (2017) as a characteristic of Brazilian practice. The prominence of technicians/bureaucrats was also verified by Schleicher and Platiau (2017)'s analysis of the cooperation among Brazil and African countries in the area of public administration. However, for the same authors, 'from the International Relations's theoretical point of view and the analysis of the official Brazilian discourse, the roles of bureaucrats and street bureaucracy remain invisible' (Schleicher and Platiau 2017: 16).…”

The Brazilian international development cooperation : over-representation, ambivalence, decentralization and instrumentalism

“…Brazil's recent history reveals that it has moved very quickly from being a recipient of external practices, knowledge, and technologies to a provider of such experiences abroad, particularly to the countries of the global South (Schleicher, Miranda and Franco, 2022;Schleicher and Barros-Platiau, 2017). This shift has occurred on a larger scale since the new millennium and has not come without contradictions, particularly because Brazil has become both a provider and a recipient of IDC.…”

From emergency to structure: ways to fight Covid-19 via international cooperation in health from Brazil

“…In Latin America, for example, at least until 2014, health was one of the last research interests (Villa et al 2017), so that negligence is the first challenge in the field. The second is that Brazilian studies of international cooperation have increasingly recognized the centrality of the technicians (sectoral) and bureaucrats participation at the lower levels of public administration (Milani and Lopes 2014;Schleicher and Platiau 2017). This presents a double challenge to a field focused on high levels of analysis, great debates and possibilities for generalization (Lake 2013): capturing sectoral knowledge, from a marginalized sector, and lowering the level of analysis, considering the influence of local and sectoral actors on international relations.…”
