RESUMO

The objective of this essay aims to analyze, both from a foreign perspective as well as through an inner view, the entry of Brazil in World War II, emphasizing, anyway, the systemic vision. The theoretical base used is the Critical Theory of International Relations, from Robert Cox and Andrew Linklater, which roots are the thoughts of Max Horkheimer and Antonio Gramsci. The questions upheld in this essay are connected with the constructed hierarchy in the international system, with the unequal economical and political relations among the central powers and the countries at the system periphery, with the building of American continental hegemony as a mean to reach the global power through a total war conjuncture, and with the compulsory entry of dependent countries in the war effort, according to the geopolitical and geo-strategic interests of the great powers in conflict. The analysis made here intend to transpose the parameters of the projection of political power, showing that the conflict and the competition occurring in the international system are the result of the joint of the processes of capital and power accumulation, which happens together and at the same time. Brazil, in this circumstances, is studied as a case, among possible others
