Brazil’s aspirations for regional leadership and attempts to increase its international prestige are analyzed in a constructivist framework. Most importantly, our theoretical reasoning departs from the constructivist take on the agent-structure debate, proposed by A. Wendt in 1987. This approach, firstly, helps to clarify the main difficulties which Brazil faced in Latin America and to examine Brazilian efforts to overcome colonial legacy in order to secure regional leadership, one of the principal goals of its foreign policy. Secondly, colonial legacy can be seen as an unconditional source for the geographical expansion of Brazil’s influence and the increasing the number if its allies by means of the South-South cooperation. Thirdly, we demonstrate the very complex relationship on the structural level between the BRICS project and the problem of colonial legacy. Using the example of Brazil as a state which, on the one hand, has not been able to overcome the postcolonial complex, and on the other, is actively performing political rituals aimed at demonstrating its increasing power, we can more clearly outline the possibilities and limitations inherent in the structure of contemporary international system. Finally, this research suggests that BRICS, a group that claims to articulate the principles of the new world order, more beneficial for the states of the South, has limited chances to succeed with that mission.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Целью данной статьи является обозначение ключевых нарративов колониального наследия как узловых точек формирования бразильской внешнеполитической повестки дня в русле сотрудничества Юг-Юг. Стремление Бразилии к региональному лидерству и ее попытки повысить свой международный престиж будут проанализированы на основе конструктивистской методологии, прежде всего, в рамках теории взаимодействия агента и структуры, предложенной А. Вендтом в 1987 г. Подобный подход, во-первых, позволит прояснить основные затруднения, с которыми сталкивается Бразилия в собственном регионе, а также проанализировать ее усилия по устранению проблем колониального наследия в осуществлении одной из важнейших целей политики - достижения регионального лидерства. Во-вторых, позволит увидеть колониальное наследие как безусловный ресурс Бразилии для расширения географического охвата ее влияния и роста количества ее союзников по линии Юг-Юг. В-третьих, мы продемонстрируем чрезвычайно сложную взаимосвязь одного из наиболее интересных современных международных объединений, такого как БРИКС, с проблемой колониального наследия на структурном уровне. На примере Бразилии как страны, с одной стороны, не преодолевшей пока комплекса бывшей колонии, а с другой, как государства, активно осуществляющего политические ритуалы, демонстрирующие его возрастающую мощь, мы сможем проследить за теми возможностями и ограничениями, которые существуют в современной структуре международных отношений. Наконец, исследование поможет прояснить, почему БРИКС, организация во многом претендующая на роль агента артикулирования нового миропорядка, более благоприятного для стран оси Юг-Юг, имеет мало шансов достичь этой цели.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Brazil</kwd><kwd>Latin America</kwd><kwd>South-South cooperation</kwd><kwd>leadership</kwd><kwd>colonialism</kwd><kwd>BRICS</kwd><kwd>developing countries</kwd><kwd>constructivism</kwd><kwd>political ritual</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Бразилия</kwd><kwd>Латинская Америка</kwd><kwd>сотрудничество Юг-Юг</kwd><kwd>лидерство</kwd><kwd>колониализм</kwd><kwd>БРИКС</kwd><kwd>развивающиеся страны</kwd><kwd>конструктивизм</kwd><kwd>политический ритуал</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Bell, C.
