Abstract
- After passage of the 1988 Constitution of Brazil, successive democratic governments worked to build bridges between the nation's foreign policy and its defence strategy, thus fostering a dialogue among administrations and constituencies under the aegis of the rule of law. It was under the Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff administrations that Brazil laid out a grand strategy, implementation of which was interrupted by the controversial impeachment proceedings of 2016. The argument unfolds from a consideration of Brazil's development model and domestic politics as key structural variables in analysing the challenges faced in the conception and implementation of its grand strategy. The article is organised into two sections: (1) The sketch of a grand strategy: when Brazil's foreign and defence policies converged; (2) An ambition frustrated? Or, the impact of Brazil's development model and domestic politics on the conception and implementation of its grand strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
