Abstract

The importance of the African continent for the Brazilian foreign policy occurred during the 50’s in the republicanism period, achieving its highest importance in the military regime, especially during the government of Ernesto Geisel. During this time, Brazil recognized the independence and the government of Angola. Due to the country economic crises and emergency of a new policy for the international position in the 80’s and 90’s there was an inflexion on the relations with the continent. This was established in specifics government understandings of the brazilian role in international relations and in development strategies.
