CONTRERA, Flávio  and  HEBLING, Matheus Lucas. Ideological Perspectives on Foreign Policy in The 2018 Brazilian Presidential Election. Latinoamérica [online]. 2021, n.73, pp.69-102.  Epub May 09, 2022. ISSN 2448-6914.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cialc.24486914e.2022.73.57257.

The main objective of the article was to estimate the position and ideologically differentiate the parties that disputed the Brazilian presidential elections of 2018, by analyzing their positions on foreign policy, expressed in their campaign manifestos. Positions in 2018 were also contrasted with the 2010 and 2014 campaign manifests. The results show that most parties are on the right and only those on the far left defend a minimalist role for Brazilian foreign policy. Comparison with previous elections shows stability in party ideology, and the five parties that have competed in the last three presidential elections have moved to the left.

Keywords : Elections; Ideology; Brazilian Foreign Policy; Political Parties.
