But leadership can also be learned, as long as it's implemented through the right policies. For Sérgio Danese, thinking diplomatically is a complex process that involves historical knowledge, analytical guidance, and, in many cases, a proposal that reflects professional experience. A career diplomat, the author of \"A ESCOLA DA LIDERANÇA\" possesses a mastery of the topics he discusses that isn't always found in so many academic works. The book brings together an important set of essays that discuss the evolution of Brazil's leadership power in the international political arena and the role of diplomacy in this process, with regard to foreign policy. With flowing text and hypotheses that emerge from the subtle result of historical interpretation and the exposition of what might be the national interest, the essays are driven by an argument of relentless logic, engaging in discussion. Through historically based studies, Danese seeks to trace the evolutionary trajectory of diplomacy in Brazil through time, from its discovery, during the country's formation, to the development of the country's history. From the Old Republic to the present day. Always linking diplomacy to the possibility of international leadership, Danese makes it clear that Brazilian leadership depends solely on good policies, on the significant improvement of its real basis, which is power—with democracy, real and sustained growth, social progress, and full integration in its region, South America—and also on the humility to learn from its own experience and from the lessons of history and partners, which are numerous and exemplary. The author analyzes the idea of leadership—seen from the perspective of long-term learning—in various times and spaces, with agility and certainty: the lessons of the Cuban missile crisis and the ongoing discussion about South America's identity, among other topics, converge in this idea. The texts also highlight the need to train diplomats who can perform their duties while safeguarding the national interest, finding the best way to defend and promote it in interactions with other international partners. The final essays in *A ESCOLA DA LIDERANÇA* follow on from the theses presented in *A Diplomacia Presidente* (1997), his original study that assesses the importance of international contacts between presidents, at home and abroad, combined with the discreet, often anonymous, actions of diplomats. Sérgio Danese proves himself to be an apt interpreter of the visible and invisible actions that affect the history of countries: and, at the same time as he imparts knowledge and experience, his reader begins to perceive new dimensions for discussing Brazil.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175901872380,"sku":"9788501085955","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/3ef0a9b44a4a148924ac5dfc506d9324_b40b3438-db49-4630-9fdb-e150b9f5532d.jpg?v=1778322546"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/sergio-danese.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
