The Uruguay-Brasil bilateral chairs in José Mujica and Dilma Rousseff: notes from Uruguay’s foreign policy

Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 27

Abstract

On March 1st, 2005 a coalition of progressist political parties ‘Frente Amplio’ assumed the Executive Power after winning the presidential election in 2004, which constituted a singular electoral and political event. The formation of the first leftist government in this country marked changes in its foreign policy and established a new model of international insertion. In this paper we will analyse, first, the Uruguayan foreign policy during the progressist governments with a general characterization, and the international dimension in the ‘frenteampista’ program of government. Second, we will continue with a brief overview of the foreign policy of José Mujica and the relationship with Dilma Rousseff's government. Third, we will conclude with the global, regional and bilateral dimension of current cooperation agendas.
