Abstract

An analysis an evaluation of the perspectives of Brazilian foreign policy require an examination of the norms that govern the current modalities of the organization of the world order, within which Brazil is inserted. The fact is that there is a diversified importance of external factors in internal growth and the increasing complexity of the administrative management of Brazil's foreign policy. In an era marked by industrial and technological confrontation and by the internationalization of the world economy, the basic theme of Brazilian foreign policy is the definition of the country's insertion strategy in the international system, which is characterized by the term “Responsible pragmatism”, a position that nevertheless clashes with Brazil's vulnerability in energy matters.
