Resumo

This paper analyses U.S.-Brazilian relations during the elaboration of JoAo Goulart's Three-Year Plan in late 1962, which sought to tackle Brazil's severe economic imbalances without compromising growth and through the implementation of distributive reforms. Although the plan followed the principles of John F. Kennedy's Alliance for Progress, Washington did not offer adequate assistance because of Goulart's threats to increase links with the Soviet bloc. The United States hardened its position, seeking to change the orientation of the Brazilian government. This led to the abandonment of the Three-Year Plan, and contributed to social and political destabilisation that resulted in Brazil's March 1964 military coup. (AU)
