Cooperação internacional para o desenvolvimento e interesses organizados: os atores privados na cooperação técnica entre países em desenvolvimento brasileira

Abstract

This thesis approaches the participation of private actors in the Brazilian international cooperation for development programs.Its specific contribution is to treat those actors as interest groups who pursuit self-interests.The literature about private actors in international cooperation for development considers non-governmental organizations to be the classic private actors involved in this activity.Based on constructivist assumptions, a substantial part of that literature proposes the private actors who participate in international cooperation for development are different from the other actors because the former makes advocacy instead of lobbying and, therefore, support collective interests.At the same time, globalization and the process of political liberalization which occurred in many Latin-American countries modified the nature of foreign policy.In this new scenario, beyond to represent collective interests in the international arena, foreign policy decision makers have been pressured to negotiate with specific interests.Despite of that, the field of study about interest groups in foreign policy decision making process rests almost unexplored.This gap deepen significantly in the literature about private actors in international cooperation for development.This thesis objective is to help to fill those gaps.
