Relações Brasil-Argentina (2019-2022):

As consequências da política externa do governo de Jair Bolsonaro

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how Brazilian foreign policy during Bolsonaro’s government (2019-2022) impacted Brazil-Argentina relations, focusing on the economic consequences of the diplomatic distancing between the two countries. The main objective is to understand the effects of this distancing, especially on trade volume. The research is based on the question: Did Brazil distance itself from Argentina during Bolsonaro’s government? The methodology adopted includes an exploratory and descriptive study, based on bibliographic surveys in academic websites, in addition to the analysis of official speeches and foreign trade data. Moreover, presidential and ministerial speeches, as well as academic articles, were also utilized. The main result of the research confirms the existence of a shift in bilateral trade during the period studied, influenced primarily by the ideological divergence between the governments.
