7. See Carlos Pérez Llana, “Brazil and Western Europe in a Global Context,” in Grabendorff and Roett, 124–46. Although Pérez Llana personally is not especially optimistic about Brazil's prospects in this regard, he comments, “The idea of the possibility of a ‘jump,’ both qualitative and quantitative, to ‘rich country’ status is permanently in the minds of a large sector of the Brazilian elite” (p. 132).

8. See Margaret Daly Hayes, “Brasil y el Atlántico Sur: cambios en las perspectivas de un problema que se vislumbra,” in Moneta, 89–102.

9. In his introduction to the Grabendorff and Roett collection, Wolf Grabendorff poses the question “A New Atlantic Triangle?” He and most of the authors in the collection express considerable doubt as to whether the answer is “yes.”
