A influência do poder legislativo na política externa do Governo Bolsonaro (2019-2021): uma visão sobre o relacionamento entre Brasil e China

Abstract

In a historical panorama, the debate about Brazilian foreign policy was centered on the Federal Executive Branch, mainly by the President of the Republic and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, several factors, such as redemocratization, have broughtthe formulation and implementation of public policies closer to other powers, the market and civil society. In this sense, the present work aims to analyze the influence of the Legislative Power in the conduct of foreign policy. For this, the government of President Bolsonaro (2019-2021) was used as a reference, based on the view of Sino-Brazilian relations, which is fundamental for the country. This research sought, through bibliographical discussion, analysis of documents, speeches, periodicals, and database of the National Congress, to understand the level of parliamentary influence in foreign relations in the administration of Bolsonaro, as well as what tools are available to politicians for such action. In short, there was a notable legislative influence based on regulatory instruments, however, with primacy of political actions, that is, political pressure.
