Summary/Abstract |
This article identifies the limitations of classical, sociopolitical, and interactive analytical axes for explaining the crisis of paradigms and the content of Brazilian foreign policy and to propose alternative perspectives to overcome these limitations. A constructivist axis is used to examine the co-constitution of agent and structure and to identify the possibilities of change. A poststructuralist axis is used to show that Brazilian "Foreign Policy" reproduces practices of differentiation and is connected to the containment of challenges to identity. A postcolonial axis is used to show that Brazilian foreign policy can provide answers to the challenges of interaction with diversity through self-reflection and culturally diverse criticism to inequality.

Summary/Abstract |
This article aims to examine Brazil's foreign policy on nuclear issues from 1940 to 2011 and identify the main factors that defined the ways through which Brazil searched for autonomy in issues related to nuclear non-proliferation, nuclear disarmament and peaceful uses of nuclear energy. It argues that changes in the ways through which Brazil searched for autonomy were results of external pressures from great power states and opportunities to engage with nuclear-weapon and non-nuclear-weapon states created by international institutions, as well as pressures from domestic actors such as congressmen, military men, nuclear researchers and civil society groups.

Summary/Abstract |
Brazilian energy diplomacy intensified from 2003 to 2010. In this case, this intensification was related to the structure of more convergent preferences of Itamaraty-Brazil's Foreign Ministry-other related ministries, and agencies with foreign government preferences for engagement in energy security and/or integration. Co-extensive with these preferences were those of most Brazilian domestic actors on the diversification of the state's energy supplies, enhancement of access to markets or reserves, stimulus for sustainable production and use-mainly in developing states-and strengthening of strategic international partnerships-mostly with developed states-for training and the competitive insertion in the international market.
