O Itamaraty em transformação: evolução do organograma, redemocratização brasileira e direitos humanos

Abstract

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a key institution in Brazil's foreign policy, and its organizational structure has been shaped by political changes over the years. With the democratization process, there was a need for adaptation and reformulation of Brazil's international insertion, particularly regarding the promotion of democratic values and human rights on the international stage, which brought changes to the Itamaraty and Brazil's diplomatic repertoire. The historical trajectory of Itamaraty's organizational chart demonstrates how the political, both internal and external, context has brought new contours to the institution. Through bibliographic review, this analysis highlights Itamaraty's ability to adapt to new political realities and the importance of understanding how institutional changes have influenced Brazilian diplomacy in promoting democratic values and human rights. It delineates the historical evolution of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the changes in its structure, particularly during the redemocratization period and the 1990s.
