According to him, the foreign policy strategies of the previous administrations had all failed, thus the need for radical change. Indeed, foreign policy issues played a relevant role during the electoral campaign as the candidate tried to fulfil the demands coming from various support groups. In this sense, his election combined changes in the political trends both at the international and domestic levels. Bolsonaro’s governmental coalition (if it may be called that) assembles very different sectors with very different visions, all of them lobbying for influence in specific foreign policy areas and themes: the “ideological” group represented by the Foreign Affairs minister Ernesto Araújo; the conservative Pentecostalism movement; the ultraliberal economists supported by the “market forces”; the supposedly “technical” military; the agribusiness complex with a str...

The choice of such actors was based on their paradigmatic role and on the assumption that their perceptions are in fact representative of the images political national elites have on the subject. There is also the concern of retrieving as aspect that has been little explored in studies on Brazilian foreign policy, that is, the subjective factors influencing policies definition and implementation. On the other hand, the historic approach allows to establish some kind of correlation between the images and beliefs that nourish the perceptions and the historic processes that generate them.

Em ambos os organismos, o país desenvolveu aspirações a um papel internacional protagônico, o que acreditamos ser indicador da recorrência, no discurso diplomático, de certas crenças a respeito de quais devam ser o nosso papel, status e pertencimento a nível internacional. Destacamos, ao mesmo tempo, que uma análise desse tipo não pode se limitar a reconstruir o discurso diplomático, mas deve também procurar desvendar os mecanismos causais que explicam o impacto daquelas crenças sobre a formação de políticas. Nesse sentido, a literatura acadêmica internacional já desenvolveu uma série de abordagens que podem se revelar úteis para um estudo da diplomacia brasileira.
