“…More recently, Brazil has pushed for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council, fully supported the creation of the UN Human Rights Council, and actively participated in UN organizations, such as the World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization. The same can be said regarding the participation in the Bretton Woods institutions and the system of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the World Trade Organization (Almeida 2016;Reynolds 2017). We build this category using level of support for the United Nations.…”

“…The growing consensus on stability and structure seen in the United States and Europe did not happen in Latin America. Only a handful of studies have addressed how the domestic public perceives foreign affairs in the region (Souza 2008;Almeida 2016;Onuki, Mourón, and Urdinez 2016;Mourón, Urdinez, and Onuki 2016;Reynolds et al 2017;Guimarães, Fernandes, and Maldonaldo 2020;Castillo, Maldonado, and Shiavon 2015). Similar to the European case, these studies are predominantly focused on narrow and specific issues, such as immigration in Mexico (Schiavon 2010), diplomatic relations between Brazil and Argentina (Lustig and Olego 2016), defense in Argentina (Fraga and Asa 2010), or regional leadership in Brazil (Guimarães, Fernandes, and Maldonaldo 2020).…”

This article analyzes the structure and the stability of Brazilian public attitudes toward foreign policy issues. It argues that Brazilian attitudes on foreign affairs are more structured and stable than has previously been believed. It asserts that deep and historical beliefs about Brazil's role in international affairs, such as pacifism and protagonism, are responsible for creating reasonably consistent and stable public attitudes toward specific foreign policy preferences. The argument builds on the model proposed by Jon Hurwitz and Mark Peffley (1987) in their study on the coherence of US public opinion on foreign policy issues. The article uses survey data from two national samples undertaken in 2014 and 2019 (about 1,800 respondents each). The samples are part of the "Brazil, the Americas and the World" project, which conveys information about Brazilian public opinion on foreign policy issues.Este artigo analisa a estrutura e a estabilidade das atitudes da opinião pública brasileira em relação às questões de política externa. Argumentamos que as atitudes brasileiras em relação às relações exteriores são mais estruturadas e estáveis do que se pensava. Sustentamos que crenças profundas e históricas sobre o papel do Brasil nos assuntos internacionais, como pacifismo e protagonismo, são responsáveis por criar atitudes públicas razoavelmente consistentes e estáveis em relação a preferências de política externa. Construímos nosso argumento com base no modelo proposto por Hurwitz e Peffley (1987) em seu estudo sobre a coerência da opinião pública nos Estados Unidos em questões de política externa. Usamos dados de pesquisas de duas amostras nacionais realizadas em 2014 e 2019 (cerca de 1.800 entrevistados cada). As amostras fazem parte do projeto O Brasil, As Américas e o Mundo, que levanta informações sobre a opinião pública brasileira em questões de política externa.
