A síntese imperfeita: articulação entre política externa e política de defesa na era Cardoso

This article has the objective of producing hypotheses on the articulation between foreign and defense policies during President's Cardoso administration. Initially, a case study on the formulation of the National Defense Policy Document (PDN) and its consequences to the institutionalization of the Defense Ministry (MD) was conducted. The low priority Brazilian diplomacy attributes to military power as a foreign policy tool was established. Finally, the lack of effective articulation mechanisms between foreign and defense policies was stressed.
