SPACES OF SOVEREIGN INDETERMINATION: AMBIGUITIES IN CONTEMPORARY BRAZILIAN FOREIGN POLICY
Main Article Content
Abstract
This essay presents a case study (the dwelling of renowned figures of Latin American politics in Brazilian embassies, running away from their homelands, in terms of a precarious informal confinement) in order to analyzing shifting relations between Brazilian sovereignty and its symbolic representation abroad. It portrays a qualitative analysis informed by a bibliographic revision of the aforementioned topics. The dwelling of renowned figures of Latin American politics in Brazilian embassies in terms of a precarious informal confinement is a sign of ongoing changes in Brazilian foreign policy towards more participation of interest groups under the supervision of an attentive public opinion. Such unexpected democratization of foreign policy poses a challenge to Itamaraty's capacities of formulating policies and dealing with their outcomes.
