Abstract

This article aims to address the actions of Brazilian state agents regarding relations with Argentina during the governments of Getúlio Vargas (1951-1954) and Juan Domingo Perón (1950-1955). Two aproaches disputed the primacy in defining the way of foreign policy towards Argentina: the presidential one, which advocated for the rapprochement between the two countries, and that of the Ministry of Foreign Relations, permeated by tensions and divergences on an intradiplomatic level. To understand this scenario, an important analysis variable was Brazilian domestic politics, in which there were groups that manifested both in favour and against the initiative to bring the nations closer together.
Another variable was the influence of the United States, which were attentive to all integration negotiations, contrary to the formation of regional blocs under the American subsystem of power as they were.
