POLÍTICA EXTERNA E DESENVOLVIMENTO ECONÔMICO NO BRASIL: HISTÓRIA E PARADIGMAS (1930 – 2016)

The present article aims to understand how the pursuit of economic development influenced the formation of Brazilian foreign policy paradigms. In the first section of the paper, we tried to operationalize the concept of foreign policy and economic development. In the second section, the research aimed at exposing the paradigms in Brazilian foreign policy for economic development from 1930 to 2016, that is, the developmental paradigm, the neoliberal paradigm and the logistic paradigm. For that, the text used as methodology the Paradigms of International Relations developed by Amado Cervo and that has significant influence of economic studies. The result was that the logistic paradigm seeks to surpass the values of the neoliberal paradigm while restructuring the system of ideas and world perception of the developmental paradigm and can be considered a significant theoretical and scientific advance in the community and reference of development studies
