An analysis of Brazilian cultural diplomacy in the beginning of the military dictatorship (1964-1985) sheds light on the tensions that emerged between diverging interlocutors and different procedural currents on how the Brazilian State should project its message in the international system. Despite its efforts, the dictatorship was never able to pacify these conflicts, nor did it transform cultural diplomacy into regime propaganda. The coexistence of continuity and contradiction in cultural diplomacy suggests that it is a disruptive, inertial and erratic field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the increasing demands over the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Itamaraty) for opening its doors to other actors. This discussion will be followed by relevant theoretical and methodological analysis. We will defend the need to overcome problems related to: 1) conceptual vagueness about what the concept of participation means; 2) lack of clarity in the baseline to which comparisons are made; 3) fragile empirical basis; 4) limitations on the use of sources; and 5) how to understand the impact exerted by systemic forces.
