Ce livre pose le problème de la puissance du Brésil au XXIe siècle, à partir d'une question fondamentale : La puissance de l'Etat fédéral du Brésil a-t-elle bénéficié de l'influence de la pensée géopolitique des stratèges et géopoliticiens brésiliens et quels ont été les paradigmes stratégiques et diplomatiques qui ont servi d'outils de projection de la puissance de ce pays ? A partir de ce postulat l'auteur met d'abord en scène les fondements de la géopolitique au début du XXe siècle et leur influence sur les théories géopolitiques brésiliennes pour légitimer l'expansion de l'Etat et l'influence sud-américaine du Brésil au XXe siècle. Ensuite, l'auteur constate qu'après la guerre froide, les doctrines géopolitiques brésiliennes demeurent pour l'essentiel les fondements de la stratégie globale d'influence mondiale du Brésil. Ce qui explique la création du Mercosur en 1991 et son prolongement diplomatique de la zone de libre-échange de l'Amérique du Sud (ALCSA) qui s'oppose au projet géopolitique états-unien de la ZLEA qui pourrait nuire au rayonnement international de la diplomatie brésilienne. De cette rivalité géoéconomique, l'auteur propose au dirigeant brésilien la mise en place du "Corridor AFROSUDAMERICASIE" structuré autour du "Bloc BAIC" (Brésil-Afrique du Sud-Inde-Chine) au sein duquel le Brésil doit être le "nombril diplomatique" et la tête de pont entre l'Atlantique, le Pacifique et l'Asie pour asseoir sa projection de puissance au XXIe siècle.

This history of US-led international drug control provides new perspectives on the economic, ideological, and political foundations of a Cold War American empire. US officials assumed the helm of international drug control after World War II at a moment of unprecedented geopolitical influence embodied in the growing economic clout of its pharmaceutical industry.We Sell Drugs is a study grounded in the transnational geography and political economy of the coca-leaf and coca-derived commodities market stretching from Peru and Bolivia into the United States. More than a narrow biography of one famous plant and its equally famous derivative products-Coca-Cola and cocaine-this book situates these commodities within the larger landscape of drug production and consumption. Examining efforts to control the circuits through which coca traveled, Suzanna Reiss provides a geographic and legal basis for considering the historical construction of designations of legality and illegality. The book also argues that the legal status of any given drug is largely premised on who grew, manufactured, distributed, and consumed it and not on the qualities of the drug itself. Drug control is a powerful tool for ordering international trade, national economies, and society's habits and daily lives. In a historical landscape animated by struggles over political economy, national autonomy, hegemony, and racial equality, We Sell Drugs insists on the socio-historical underpinnings of designations of legality to explore how drug control became a major weapon in asserting control of domestic and international affairs.
