ORTEGA, Any Marise    PELOGGIA, Alex. From the “unwritten alliance” to the “affirmative foreign policy”: a geographical comparative reading of Rio Branco and Lula foreign policies. []. , 72, pp.99-112.   31--2021. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2021.72a06.

The Brazilian foreign policy has a logical structure constrained by geography, which is implemented in different ways depending on the cyclical relationship between the internal and external contexts, but maintains certain levels of definition related to different geographical scales. In this article we apply the method of multi-scale geographic reasoning to analyze how that structural logic was configured in two distinct historical moments, separated from a century: the foreign policy of the Baron of Rio Branco (in the beginning of the 20th century) and that of the first Lula government (in the beginning of the 21th century).
