A política externa brasileira e as mudanças ocorridas na relação entre Brasil e Venezuela

Abstract

This article deals with the consequences of Brazilian foreign policy on the Venezuelan economy. It also addresses the issue of the hegemony of the United States of America on the American continent and its effects on the economy of Venezuela, Brazil and other countries in the Americas. To this end, a literature review was carried out on Brazilian Foreign Policy and its connection with Venezuela; the transformations of Venezuela's international relations and, finally, the identification of the causes of the deterioration of the Venezuelan economy in the last twenty years. It was concluded that Venezuela adopted a macroeconomic policy that did not consider the existing shocks against oil - its largest export product, but also had its situation aggravated by U.S. influence in Latin America.
