BETANCOURT VELEZ, Ricardo. The decline of the Monroe Doctrine? Colombia and Brazil, between a traditional north and a renewed south. Pap.polit. [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.2, pp.691-719. ISSN 0122-4409.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.PAPO19-2.odmc.

Since the formulation of the Monroe Doctrine, United States defined Latin America as his 'backyard' in the XIX^th and XX^th centuries. However, the global and regional transformations in the XXI^st century have weakened the Doctrine, and promoted a new idea of the space, named South America. This paper analyzes the role of Brazil as a regional power, which leads the creation of this new space. Furthermore, it analyzes the role of Colombia, a United States traditional ally, facing the Brazilian leadership.
