Insight Business Strategies

Finally, I wanna talk about how Hirst does his intellectual stuff.  He's all about history, politics, and looking at things from different angles. You can see that in the title of his book. In the 1980s, her analytical focus on Brazilian foreign policy was, like, totally on point, especially when it came to the relations with the United States and the diplomatic vibes with Argentina. By like totally dedicating herself to analyzing PICE (the Program for Integration and Economic Cooperation), which was like established in 1986, for example, Hirst was already like seeking a super multidimensional and strategic approach in dealing with inter-regional stuff. BTW, her work has always been lit with a mad visionary vibe. OMG, like this author was totally over the whole economistic and corporative views of MERCOSUR. They were like, "Nah, we need to transcend that." And guess what? They soon realized that the perception of common historic trajectories had, like, totally sparked the...

The American gov formalized trade agreements with 11 Latin American countries and in the 1940s   cuz of American involvement in the world conflict, a system of hemispheric security was quickly put in place, based on military assistance programs. The lit conferences of Latin American foreign ministers created a fresh inter-American agenda, and at the Montevideo sesh in '33, Washington was like, "Yo, we're all about that good neighbor vibe" and dipped its troops from Haiti. That conference was like, so lit! It was followed by those in Buenos Aires in 1936, Lima in 1938, Panama in 1939, Havana in 1940, and Rio de Janeiro in 1942.  The last three meetings were hella lit to secure the continent's support for the booming American involvement in World War II. OMG, at the Panama conference they were like, "We're totally neutral, fam!" Then in Havana, all the countries were like, "Let's be defensive together, squad goals!" Finally, at the Third ...

When World War II broke out, in 1939, Brazil was like, "Nah, we're staying neutral, fam. We don't wanna get caught up in that drama."    OMG, like the trade with Germany totally tanked because of the war and it made it way harder for the Vargas government to do anything. On the American side, Brazilian collab became hella important cuz of new strategic interests, which the Vargas Administration totally used as a flexin' tool. OMG, like from that moment on, the relationship between the two countries was lit AF in the economic, military, and cultural fields. OMG, like, for Brazil, the org of a Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) was, like, totally lit! It was all about flexing their armed forces and, like, boosting their international clout, you know? Like, even though the American government was kinda hesitant at first, FEB dipped to Europe in the second half of 1944. They sent a total of 25,000 dudes to Italy to link up with the 5th Division of the United States A...

By the time the war ended, the Roosevelt-Vargas convo was no longer keeping it friendly, fam.  OMG, like the Brazilian gov is totally struggling to score lit prices for coffee and get those sick credits for industrial projects. It's getting hella hard, fam. The American gov started flexin' its support for the Brazilian political peeps who were all about that liberal economic vibe. This led to a sick convo between the anti-Vargas crew and the peeps who were down with economic liberalism in both countries.  Brazil was like the only Latin American country to flex troops to the war in Europe, you know? Both Itamaraty and local political leaders were like, "Yo, having this presence would totally secure us a position of mad prestige in the post-war conferences, you know?"  The idea that being a "associated power" would totally benefit Brazil's interests in future international talks got hella strong. However, the idea that Brazil's participation deserved s...

Was signed with the vibes of the American president Harry Truman.  Still under Dutra, the vibes of the Cooperation Program for the Supply of Mineral Resources with the United States were extended. No cap. This instrument lowkey gave the green light to flex the export of monazitic sands, which is like a major key for the American atomic energy program, you know? OMG, like Brazil was totally on board with the Baruch Plan, ya know? It was all about creating an International Atomic Energy Authority, like, so cool! On the same vibes, the Brazilian gov stayed as a lit ally of the United States during the Bogotá Conference (1948) when the Organization of American States (OAS) was created. The Dutra gov was sooo over it with the US, especially when it came to economic vibes. The Abbink Mission was like, so basic and only focused on Brazil's development. Ugh, so frustrating! OMG, this mission was so unexpected, but it was like, meh. It just came through with some vague recs, like we gotta b...

Vargas was like, "Yo, the military talks with Truman's crew better come with some major support for my economic projects, ya feel me?"  OMG, like in December 1950, they were all like "let's sign an agreement, fam" and they made this Joint Brazil-United States Commission (CMBEU) happen. Lit, right? Like, this commission had the job of coming up with projects to boost the economy and get money from the American Eximbank. It was made up of government peeps and cool tech and business folks who wanted to make sure we had long-term ways to grow the economy. The idea of a bank was like, totally planned to flex and bring together all the outside and inside resources to fund the 41 projects that got the green light from the Joint Commission, with a bunch of them being all about transportation and energy, you know? OMG, like in 1952, things got hella messy cuz of CMBEU. The Brazilian gov decided to be all strict and not let people send money or bring back their cash. ...
