Abstract

This work takes as its objective the study of the Instituto Brasileiro de Relações Internacionais (IBRI), created in 1954 and its Revista Brasileira de Política Internacional (RBPI), founded in 1958. The IBRI was the first institute oriented exclusively towards the field of international relations in Brazil and the RBPI the oldest publication specialised in international policy in circulation in the country. The context of the creation of the institute and the periodical, and the role played by their four directors is considered. The survival of the IBRI/RBPI was also subjected to analysis, as was the materiality of the periodical. There follows a consideration of the process of the rationalisation of the State and the incorporation of intellectual developmentalists into the governmental apparatus between the Second Vargas Government and the Kubitschek government in order to understand the generation of intellectuals who founded the IBRI/RBPI. The Instituto Brasileiro de Administração Municipal (IBAM) and the Instituto Superior de Estudos Brasileiros (ISEB) are also examined in this work, given that some of the founders and collaborators of the subject of this study played leading roles in these institutions. Furthermore, similarities are discussed between the institutions and careers of two other agents of relevance in the IBRI/RBPI, diplomats and the military. In addition, two proposals for paradigms in foreign policy are presented as a basis for the analysis of discourses on Brazilian foreign policy as presented in the pages of the RBPI. Lastly, articles from the periodical are analysed in an attempt to highlight the central theme of the publication from 1958-1992: development. This theme forms the thread common to other important topics linked to integration dealt with in the RBPI, namely, relations among countries in the region and the United States, the projects of Latin American integration, and the integration and strategic security of Brazil.
