O Estado e as Relações Internacionais: O Complexo Econômico-Industrial da Saúde na relação de influência mútua entre as agendas interna e externa do Brasil

This thesis addresses the interrelationship of national policies with international relations, where the correlation of power and health is present and is envisioned primarily in the role of the state in the context of international relations and the influence of globalization and its impacts on health policy - in particular the Health Economic-Industrial Complex (CEIS) – set of productive and services activities that guide a systemic relation between industry activities and service providers in health – and in their respective correlation with the conduction of foreign policy‟s Brazil.It subsidizes the approach in the health field with the national and regional development, walking in a double sense: on one hand brings the development agenda for the field of health and on the other, provides clues as how health actions can contribute to a more general development and integration, where the demands exerted by political and economic influences in the international arena have significant power in the conduction of national policies and in the conduction of foreign policy‟s country. Given the contemporary theme, this study is based on documentary and descriptive research, of exploratory nature, based on analysis of the information available in publications - books, articles, journals and Laws, as well as analysis of governmental reports released on portals and specialized presentations of experts available in the public domain. The construction of the chapters is developed in ascending order where the international relations situate the role of the State in the complexity of political, economic and international relationships as well as international asymmetric powers and in the social and humanitarian rights seek to be established. In this context, the resumption of the strategic role of the State to the national development finds in the health and strategic contours of the Brazilian foreign policy a fertile environment to support the virtuous relationship between health and development in what the Health Economic- Industrial Complex - CEIS is settled from a strategic pillar of innovation. It is presented under the cut of the geographical South-South relations, which is a positive trend for subjects such as health to be considered as key elements in the promotion of the development in close interaction and partnership with the international community, especially with the South nations. In the subsequent chapters, the study indicates as a result of national and external policies that CEIS is exerting increasing influence on the conduction of foreign policy of the nation, since the national productive consolidation. In recent years this finding has occupied a more effective and less secondary position in formulating of guidelines that guide the Brazilian foreign policy, especially regarding the humanitarian cooperation and international technical cooperation. As for international technical cooperation, the south-south cooperation are very isolated, having as the main indicators issues as neglected diseases, HIV / AIDS and Human Milk Banks, specifically at Mercosur, Unasur and the “CPLP”. Therefore, the Health Economic -Industrial Complex in Brazil establishes itself as a strategic differentiator so that the national, regional and inter-regional scenarios can overcome economic vulnerabilities, technological asymmetries, safeguarding the sovereignty and the Welfare states as well as maximize international cooperation and negotiations along with national and international actors.
