Abstract

The following work aims to carry out a comparative analysis of the US foreign policy in the international system and the condition of its position within such a system as portrayed in the scientific journal Foreign Affairs between the second presidential term of Barack Obama (2013-2016) and Donald Trump's first term (2017-2020) through the critical theory present in Pierre Bourdieu's social theory. The Bourdesian approach proposes an analysis of the text as a cultural and symbolic good that must be inserted in its material and social context of production. After contextualizing the relations of the institution responsible for the magazine, the think tank Council on Foreign Relations, with the academy of international relations, the multinational private sector and the government bureaucracy of foreign relations, we analyze the texts that deal with the Grand Strategy, a concept used by the US academy of international relations to address the country's action and situation in its integrity in the international system. The theoretical evaluations made in Foreign Affairs on the changes in the country's international policy between the two administrations in the US government are qualitatively analyzed through the prism of the bourdesian theory, in which the text is contrasted with the concert of specific interests of social groups. present in the Council on Foreign Relations, groups that establish the conditions in which the production of the magazine is carried out.
