Abstract

In this dissertation we seek to develop a model to analyze restructuring periods in Brazilian foreign policy. The theoretical schema follows the next logic: sources from national and international contexts may influence domestic political arena, resulting in the opening of a policy window and in the breaking of the stabilizers, which together may form a scenario where it is easier to promote a foreign directress reformulation. In this context, the decision makers may opt to promote a change in foreign policy. To apply the model, we chose two governments substantially different in their international system and in their political scope, but still, both are considered by Brazilian foreign policy literature as periods of restructuring. Through our study over these governments\' foreign policy, we tested the utility of the model and accomplished a comparative analysis seeking for similarities among those changing processes. (AU)
