Abstract
This paper focuses on the pragmatism of Brazilian foreign policy in the first decade of the 21st century and discusses its performance in the context of an international agenda characterized by United States pressures on securitization. The text also discusses the consequences of American foreign policy in terms of adopting unilateral and exclusively military actions in the international scenario, considering the US helped to create most governance structures in the world.
