Abstract

This paper discusses regional integration in the Global South taking as a departing point a comparative analysis between Brazil, South Africa and India. In particular, the focus is on the governments of the Workers' Party (PT) between 2003 and 2016, the administrations of the African National Congress under Jacob Zuma (2009-2018) and the Indian National Congress (INC) between 2004 and 2014. Initially, the general lines of the political economy of the regional integration of the PT administrations in Brazil are presented. Next, South Africa's relations with its regional environment since the end of apartheid are analyzed. Subsequently, Indian foreign policy has been addressed since the 1990s, with an emphasis on the period when the INC came back into power in 2004. The text concludes with final considerations, explaining convergences but also differences between the three cases, aiming to contribute to a reflection on regional integration as a dimension of globalization, seen from the Global South.
