| Abstract | |
This study analyzes the diplomatic negotiations for the recognition of both the independence and the Empire of Brazil in the period 1822-1827. It starts with the hypothesis that the diplomatic negotiations did not express a coherent and consensual policy issued by the ministry of Rio de Janeiro; instead, those negotiations had great importance in defining the constitutional monarchy architecture, for it suggested political practices and institutional boundaries to the organization of the Empire of Brazil. After comparing diplomatic sources produced by the governments of the Cortes of Lisbon, London, and Rio de Janeiro many of them little known or even unpublished it was possible: 1) reevaluate the role of Foreign Affairs ministers and diplomatic agents in these three corners of Atlantic; 2) identify distinct political evaluations within the government of Pedro I; 3) and question the premise that, after the Independence from Portugal, there was a structured and organized State in the Portuguese America which was the direct heir of the government of D. João VI (1808-1821). (AU) | |
