“…In the context of the failed performance to have better political and economic results, Bolsonaro needed to embrace "Centrão", an informal and yet powerful center-right coalition that focused on negotiating its support in exchange for positions in ministries and agencies. Although Centrão is a part of what Bolsonaro attacked as "the old politics" in his 2018 campaign, he cooperated considerably with the Centrã o (Moehlecke, 2021;Passos & Santana, 2018;Paula, Machado & Cannone, 2021;Pecequilo, 2021;Silva, 2022).…”

“…Brazil's actions are morally questionable and reveal the choice of a predatory perspective that harms economic development in the context of the elimination of Brazil's own resources. Finally, despite Brazil's sanitary and socioeconomic reality, many businesspeople's and elites' political preferences challenged democratic pillars over their partisanship in times of high political polarization (Lima, 2022;Moehlecke, 2021;Pecequilo, 2021;Saraiva, 2020;Simon & Winter, 2019;Vidigal, 2019;Wehner, 2022).…”

“…Salles' attempt to change the rules of the Amazon Fund, sustained by Germany and Norway since 2008, led both states to suspend 70-million-dollar donations. In that context, Bolsonaro criticized Norway for killing whales in the North Pole and said that the money donated to the Amazon Fund should help ex-German chancellor Angela Merkel reforest Germany (Casarões & Flemes, 2019;Moehlecke, 2021;Pecequilo, 2021;Wehner, 2022).…”

“…The absence of coordination at the federal level has resulted in conflicts between the national government and the states' and cities' authorities regarding vaccination, when local leaders started to vaccinate people despite Bolsonaro's criticism. Furthermore, the prioritization of the economy over controlling the virus' dissemination was proved wrong, and the economic crisis has persisted (Guimarã es & Silva, 2021;Jesus, 2017;Kamlot & Jesus, 2020;Milani & Nery, 2021;Moehlecke, 2021).…”

The aims of the article are to identify the main factors that have defined Brazil’s international insertion during Jair Bolsonaro’s administration as well as to explain the main foreign policy changes from 2019 to 2022. I argue that, although the alignment with the Donald Trump’s administration structured the main axes of Bolsonaro’s foreign policy and the ideological discourse in foreign policy has not been abandoned by the Brazilian government during Bolsonaro’s term, some adjustments were necessary in sensitive topics such as relations with China and the Venezuelan crisis to adapt to the interests of relevant segments of Brazilian politics. Bolsonaro’s foreign policy depends heavily on the outcome of the struggle between the pragmatic economic and military members of his administration on one side, and the religious and conservative ideologists on the other. The conclusions indicate that domestic interests – particularly the need to please Bolsonaro’s political base, which turned Brazil into a violator of indigenous, LGBTQIAP+, and other minorities’ rights – are more important than global commitments Brazil has previously assumed.
