Brazil and the use of force in the post-Cold War: symbolic narratives as foreign policy tools
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aims to analyze the position of Brazil in discussions on the use of force internationally in the post-Cold War era. With an emphasis on the concepts of Non-Indifference and the Responsibility to Protect, it will be argued that Brazilian foreign policy on the subject has been based not on the creation of standards — but primarily with the establishment of what we call symbolic narratives. Through the theoretical framework proposed by the French philosopher Pierre Bourdieu, the concepts of Field and Habitus are applied to understand such scenario.
