Governo Collor: uma análise de como a política externa responde ao contexto neoliberal no pós-Guerra-Fria

Abstract

This article seeks to shed light on a conflicting moment in Brazilian foreign policy analysis, Collor's foreign policy (1990-1992) being considered neoliberal. Through a historical-bibliographical review we intend to answer how the foreign policy of the period responds to the neoliberal context of the post-Cold War, and in what extent we can consider it neoliberal/ Americanist. Throughout the review we could observe that by incorporating liberal internationalism, according to Washington‟s Consensus, Brazil does it gradually, partially and with reservations, by means of modernization, always maintaining its ultimate goal, its autonomy. The foreign policy of the period was not neoliberal, nor Americanist once liberal reformism was not confused with neoliberalism as an ideology.
