| Abstract | |
Paulino José Soares de Souza, Viscount of Uruguay, played a strong role in the Brazilian Empire\'s foreign policy in the period between 1849 and 1865. Despite having already occupied the Ministry of Foreign Affairs between 1843 and 1844, it is only from his second time in the administration that we can see the adoption of a more active foreign policy. Much of the historiography considers the year 1849 as a turning point in the foreign policy of the Empire, which until then dealt with specific issues, began to have a broader role. Leaving the government in 1853, he was a central person in the area, being an active member of the Justice and Foreign Affairs Section of the Council of State, as well as the role he played in the discussions about the opening of the Amazon River to foreign navigation. Although historiography has already been dedicated to analyzing the external issues of the imperial government (but giving preference to punctual treatments), and also the political performance of Paulino de Souza there is no work that focus specifically on the foreign policy conceptions of the future Viscount, nor his singular importance of this reconfiguration of Brazilian action vis-a-vis foreign nations and which marked the course of foreign policy in subsequent decades (and in which he became directly involved until 1865).
