O perfil da cooperação internacional contemporânea bilateral Brasil-Haiti: estruturante ou emergencial?

Abstract

The present study focuses on bilateral international cooperation between Brazil and Haiti. The overall objective is to investigate the profile of bilateral international cooperation between Brazil and Haiti and its potential impacts on the development or improvement of public policies in Haiti. To do so, the following specific objectives were defined: I) Conduct a review of specialized literature on international cooperation and public policies; II) Investigate the political and legal frameworks of bilateral international cooperation between Brazil and Haiti, analyzing the current bilateral agreements between the two countries; III) Investigate the operational frameworks of this cooperation, i.e., inter-institutional projects implemented within the scope of Brazil-Haiti international cooperation. The purpose is to analyze the nature of

cooperation between Brazil and Haiti to determine whether it is predominantly emergency- oriented or structural and to infer its potential impact on Haitian public policies. This work is

justified by the relevance of investigating the relationship between international cooperation and public policies as efficient means for implementing sustainable socio-economic development projects, as well as examining the results of the Brazil-Haiti bilateral cooperation profile to contribute to the decision-making process and policy formulation. The study consists of empirical research with an exploratory and descriptive nature. In this regard, the results were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively through content analysis, based on the collection of information from primary and secondary sources. Regarding the sources analyzed, this research combines documentary and bibliographical research. The Concordia portal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the ABC website were extensively explored to identify and obtain details about the agreements and technical cooperation projects carried out between Brazil and Haiti. Based on the analysis of the collected data, it can be concluded that international cooperation between Brazil and Haiti is predominantly characterized by an emergency-oriented approach, focused on immediate response measures, and does not have a structural orientation.
