Abstract

The analysis of the fo reign policy in the first Lula¿s government (2003-2006) can be related with three basic factors: the ideology of the Partido dos Trabalhadores - PT, the international context and the Brazilian¿s traditional diplomacy. In this direction, the study of the most important actions in external scope during the designated period considers these questions, with the purpose not only to show the actions of the government Lula in the international system, but also the real reasons to have this type of performance. The objective of this work consists in verifying if the directions proposed by the government for the foreign policy in the first mandate had been consolidated, in order to indicate the reasons of the successes and failures of this diplomacy . Lula¿s intentions can be associated to these subjects: processes of regional integration; multilateral instances and international economy, already usual in the Brazilian¿s diplomatic choices. However, the great innovation of the government was related to the projected image from Brazil in the international system, as a powerful country, capable to be a leader, in international instances or regionally. Knowing that the main purpose of Lula¿s foreign policy was the increasement of Brazilian¿s space in the international scene, with a of better positioning on relationship of power existing between the countries, was intended to relate the preferences of the government for the international relations to the above-mentioned desire. Although the results of Lula¿s diplomacy have not been integrally favorable to the country, the Brazilian¿s actions in the international system had promoted a better image to the national diplomacy (AU)
