Mato Grosso and its actions on the international stage (1995-2010)

This research focuses on analysing the international actions of the state of Mato Grosso (MT) based on the reality that it is one of the federation units that exports the most; due to the lack of bibliography analysing its external actions and the fact that it shares a border with Bolivia, a situation that provides for various exchanges of experiences. The aim is therefore to reflect on the existence of autonomy for a federal entity to draw up its external actions; how far this autonomy extends; and, from this perspective, how Mato Grosso positions itself in terms of its insertion into the international arena and how it goes about this quest.
