description The current article proposes analyzing the recent orientation of Brazilian foreign policy (1990- 2010) by highlighting and illuminating the elements of change and continuity that President Lula’s arrival to power entailed regarding the foreign activities of Brazil. Despite maintaining –under another format– the principle of autonomy in external links, Lula’s government put forth a new foreign policy orientation. Given the theoretical proposal that neoclassical realism offers, in this article it is maintained that while Brazil’s place in the international structure determines and constrains foreign options, these options do not translate homogeneously at the level of the state unit. The particular beliefs and perceptions of policy makers are fundamental for understanding the particular direction of foreign policy.

The current article proposes analyzing the recent orientation of Brazilian foreign policy (1990- 2010) by highlighting and illuminating the elements of change and continuity that President Lula’s arrival to power entailed regarding the foreign activities of Brazil. Despite maintaining –under another format– the principle of autonomy in external links, Lula’s government put forth a new foreign policy orientation. Given the theoretical proposal that neoclassical realism offers, in this article it is maintained that while Brazil’s place in the international structure determines and constrains foreign options, these options do not translate homogeneously at the level of the state unit. The particular beliefs and perceptions of policy makers are fundamental for understanding the particular direction of foreign policy. El presente artículo se propone analizar la reciente orientación de la política exterior brasileña (1990-2010) a partir de señalar y dilucidar los elementos de cambio y continuidad que trajo la llegada al poder del presidente Lula para el accionar externo de Brasil. A pesar de mantener –bajo otro formato– el principio de autonomía en la vinculación externa, el gobierno de Lula llevó adelante una nueva orientación de política exterior. A partir de la propuesta teórica que ofrece el realismo neoclásico, en este artículo se sostiene que si bien el lugar de Brasil en la estructura internacional determina y constriñe las opciones externas, éstas no se traducen homogéneamente a nivel de la unidad estatal. Las creencias y percepciones particulares de los hacedores de política son fundamentales para entender la dirección particular de la política exterior.
