CADETE, Joaquim. Após a euforia vem sempre o Itamaraty. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2013, n.38, pp.105-121. ISSN 1645-9199.

The growing importance of China in the international arena is inducing profound changes, not only for the West, but mainly at the Rest of the World. For most of the developing countries, the outcome of the commercial relationship with the Chinese partner allowed them to finally implement self-oriented policies, without attending external pressures. On the back of this new reality, it was considered to be relevant the analysis of the Chinese impact over Latin-America, through the study of Brazilian foreign policy during the presidential mandates of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff. In order to treat properly this subject, the international and Latin-American context of each presidential mandate is also provided as background information.

Keywords : China; Brazil; Brazilian foreign policy; Latin America.
