RESUMO

The aim of this work is to analyze the Brazilian Foreign policy in the 90 s focusing on Fernando Henrique Cardoso s administration and the way the principles of the Washington Consensus, also known as neoliberalism, affected or not the Brazilian Foreign policy. We discuss how the preference for themes linked to the trade and the commercial diplomacy was more important than a more political performance and whether there was a rupture or relativization with themes which have been legitimized in our international performance since the middle of the 20th century, such as the autonomy and the non-alignment. In the context of the discussion of the formation of a new international order during the 90 s, Brazil has become more pragmatic and has elected the themes of the international trade as central in the international arena. The conceptual change of the beginning of the decade was consolidated in Fernando Henrique Cardoso s administration and the attitude of confrontation and reticence in the international scenario gave place to a more "participative" attitude. Finally, we discuss the credibility policy and the greater emphasis that is laid on the beliefs and values of the market as a means to guarantee more visibility to the country
