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.

This article proposes an analytical framework to describe and explain the political economy of Brazilian foreign economic relations in the Geisel administration. We use variables from the international system, considering how they interact with decision makers' ideas and perceptions, interbureaucratic disputes within the State apparatus, the domestic politics, and exogenous economic dynamics.

Brazil is seen nowadays as a great promoter of international trade liberalization in agriculture. But that was not the reality until the early 1990s. Primary sources now available show that during the initial phases of the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade (GATT) Brazil worked against agricultural trade negotiations, despite being one of the original participants of the Cairns Group coalition and an important agricultural exporter. This article will examine why the country had this position and what explain its transformation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the article is scrutinize the Brazilian participation in the Gatt tariff negotiations of the Tokyo Round (1973-1979). It will be argued that there was a transition in the diplomat's beliefs about the potential benefits that Brazil could obtain in the multilateral trade negotiations. Nonetheless, this movement was not generalized within the state apparatus. Therefore, other governmental institutions precluded the implementation of Itamaraty's new strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Analyzing strategic orientations of the last four plurianual plans - 1996-1999, 2000-2003, 2004-2007 e 2008-2011, the article reveals how foreign policy has been incorporated to federal planning and the role given to the foreign sector in the development strategies undertaken by Cardoso and Lula governments. It demonstrates coherence between the foreign policy planned and that effectively undertaken, explaining the differences between their strategies and the lines of foreign policy priotitezed.
