Starting with the Geisel government, Brazil increasingly sought to establish leadership among the Global South through increased bilateral relations as well as action in multilateral forums. During Lula\u2019s presidency, his leftism and a stabilized democratic regime collaborated to boost Brazil\u2019s actions in that direction. Multiple agreements were signed with other Global South countries, especially in South America where Brazil wanted to establish cooperation and stability, from which it would benefit economically while also opening up more alternative markets. Additionally, Brazil took a proactive stance in improving relations with other African nations, especially through the provision of aid in the form of technical assistance in the implementation of social programs like the ones Brazil was successfully creating. Also notable was the creation of the BRIC (later BRICS) block, which became a landmark in increased cooperation in leadership among developing countries as they sought their rightful place in the world order and to steer away from the domineering presence of established centers of power such as the United States. At the end of Lula\u2019s 8 year tenure, it is fair to say that Brazil\u2019s standing in international forums had greatly improved from the increased leadership and cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
