Abstract

The renewed interest of the Brazilian government in countries like Guyana and Suriname has sparked a set of bilateral and multilateral actions that aim to expand networks in the neighborhood of Brazil's Amazon region, seeking to strengthen the Brazilian presence at the northern borders of South America. They envision a contribution to the reduction of regional asymmetries in South America. Therefore, it has become necessary to understand how Guyanese-Brazilian relations have overcome their mutual feeling of detachment - which for a while posed as something of an obstacle - in favor of a potential partnership between neighbors.

Keywords: Guyana, Brazilian Foreign Policy, History of International Relations, International Relations of Brazil, Amazonia.
