This work fits into the broader theme of the recent process of South American integration, characterized by the phenomenon of "post -liberal regionalism". The aim of this work is to analyze the political and economic factors that influenced the Brazilian position in relation to the South American regionalism over the last decade, most notably in the period between the years 2003 and 2010. My thesis is that further actions for regional development are not merely a passing phenomenon, resulting from material factors (high commodity prices) or ideational factors (arrival at power of autonomist wing represented by the Workers' Party). It derives, rather, from a new political imperative, namely, the legitimacy of the country in the continent in a context in which political and economic differences between Brazil and its neighbors become increasingly glaring. Such a context would force the country to undertake actions necessary to correct the existing structural asymmetries in the region. In addition to quantitatively describe the performance of the main vectors of Brazil's foreign policy within the field of structural integration (IIRSA, BNDES and FOCEM), we seek to perform a critical analysis of the performance of the country in the region, assessing whether, effectively, it is possible to verify a consistent policy aiming at the correction of such asymmetries. If this policy is effectively verified, we would also try to understand how does it fit into the broader goals of the Brazilian Foreign Policy throughout the period.
