The League of Nations crisis of 1926: neoclassical realism, multilateralism, and the nature of Brazilian foreign policy

Abstract

The article analyzes the nature of Brazilian foreign policy in the crisis of the League of Nations (1926) from a neoclassical-realist theoretical perspective. Within this theoretical framework, the dynamics of power positioning in the geopolitical and multilateral chessboards of the international system and the perceptions and diplomatic strategies of the Brazilian foreign-policy elite are taken into account.
