Abstract
SARAIVA, Miriam Gomes. Dilma Rousseff’s foreign policy assessment: what next?. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2014, n.44, pp.25-35. ISSN 1645-9199.
Dilma Rousseff’s government inherited clearly defined foreign policy strategies from her political party predecessor: a revisionary approach to international institutions, an active stance in multilateral forums as a representative of southern countries, and an orientation towards the South American dimension. The autonomist group remains holding key posts in the Foreign Ministry, and the developmentalist tendencies have been reinforced. However, this article argues that despite the continuities, the Brazilian behaviour has experienced changes and a visible reduction of its international activism. These changes have been affected by the international and the domestic economic scenarios and by the new foreign policymakers’ dynamic.
