Excerpts of the article from an international relations professor at the University Di Tella (Argentina), Fabian C. ALLE

1. Something begins to change in relations between the U.S. and Brazil, over two months and the more recent events such as Obama to lose election and the effect WikiLeaks. This will confirm a greater degree of caution in relations between the U.S. and Brazil.

2. This new perception on scope of analysis and the U.S. decision has as one of the strongest reflections the document entitled "Dilemmas of the Brazilian Grand Strategy" of the Strategic Studies Institute of the Army in this country and published a few months. In it, the logic follows that present and future between the two countries is more conducive to rivalry than to the alliance.

3. In this transition, there was the disclosure by WikiLeaks information of thousands of low, medium and medium high degree of security of the State Department about the relationship with Brazil. Examples: the purported decision of the government of Brazil to guide the purchase of combat aircraft in Europe and the United States \ prior knowledge that exist in Brazil about the presence of the FARC in Venezuela \ the comment from a Brazilian minister on a strong attitude anti-American by Marco Aurelio Garcia, and Samuel Pinheiro \ alleged arrests by police of suspects of international terrorism and has not been formally charged \ and informal requests to moderate Arab countries and influential businessmen to use their good offices to prevent presence of Islamic extremism in Brazil.

4. Rousseff's victory in presidential elections did more than reinforce the idea that foreign policy is increasingly active and is destined to remain challenging in the coming years. These processes should be an inescapable reality for current and future decision makers in foreign policy and defense of Argentina. More so when it shows what appears to be a stabilization of the positive relationship between Argentina and the USA. Starting point are the specific agreements, such as non-proliferation and tensions with the Iranian regime. Brazil's strategy of "face to face," will have a watchful eye of Washington.

The first measures the government Dilma Rousseff

All support to the series of economic measures that the Lula government, through the current and future finance minister, Guido Mantega, announced to encourage long-term loans and finance companies in the country, its development and financial modernization. In practice, and even announced in the Lula administration, these measures constitute the first area of the economy to be implemented early in his administration Rousseff in two weeks.
"The goal - explained the Minister - is to facilitate long-term credit, always scarce in the country. In the past, made no difference, because there were few projects financed by. The term was in the past five years to eight years. But with the development cycle that we have deployed in recent years has increased the need to finance long term projects. "
Already today, recognized the owner of the farm, there is greater demand for projects and, therefore, there is also a greater need for funding. "Today, there are projects that require funding of 20, 25 or 30 years. We want to enter a new phase, so that the private sector also may finance, sharing this task with BNDES," he explained. The Treasury Department classifies as a major stimulus package already established to encourage the increased terms of private debt in the country.
It is now lower interest rates
 These initiatives have every reason to work and can work as long as interest rates fall, so that the long-term investments become more profitable than bonds. The Monetary Policy Committee (COPOM) of the Central Bank (BC), may well take its first meeting of new year - also the 1st of the new government - in the second half of January to overturn the Selic rate (10.75% today ).
The announced measures, containment of budget expenditures costing - not investment - which will be set at the beginning of the year and a decline in interest rates are the three ingredients necessary for us to have a peaceful and successful start of government, continuity the Lula administration, which during its eight years, economic growth, employment, income and social inclusion of our population.
Moreover, as stressed in the event of the magazine "Isto" in Sao Paulo yesterday, the president assumes that on June 1, Rousseff, to predict that Brazil will maintain economic growth in coming years. "I believe in Brazil, I think this is our moment, this will undoubtedly be our decade," he said. At the ceremony, Dilma thanked his election to the "millions who have realized that it is possible to transform Brazil, making it a great middle class country."
