In a unique contribution to on-going debates about emerging powers in Africa, Brazil's Africa Strategy examines Brazil's engagement with Africa, embedding its analysis within a broader study of Brazil's foreign policy objectives and Brazil's international identity. Stolte draws on data collected from in-depth interviews and a wide array of Brazilian government institutions to provide a comprehensive overview, which demonstrates that Brazil's Africa strategy is driven not only by economic motives and African resources, but also by a campaign to gain global recognition and establish Brazil's status as a World Power on the international stage. The book covers an important and much-neglected component of contemporary Brazilian foreign policy and makes a significant contribution to International Relations theory on emerging powers by introducing non-material drivers to debates about the motives for extra-regional engagement.
