Accompagner la puissance ou la démocratie ? L’historiographie des relations internationales au Brésil
Abstract
This article analyzes the formation of the historiography of international relations produced in Brazil. It’s examining its institutional development sites, and the nature of the research programs in place. The development of specialized historiography has been strongly influenced by institutional settings with restricted career paths in large academic centers, and the process of re-democratization of Brazil, mainly in line with the Constitution of 1988, contributing to the expansion research programs.
