A inauguração do Brasil no contexto multilateral da Segunda Conferência da Paz de Haia (1907): Estudo de casos dos telegramas entre Rui Barbosa e Rio Branco

Abstract

The present work proposes, on the one hand, to describe the formation of international society at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century and, on the other, to analyze the inauguration of Brazil in the multilateral context of the Second Hague Peace Conference in 1907 under the the prism of two specific issues: the Brazilian opposition to the Drago Doctrine and the defense of legal equality between States, through the exchange of telegrams between Rui Barbosa (head of the Brazilian delegation) and Rio Branco (Brazil's foreign minister). The new international order that was born in the 19th century evolved and transformed the world in the following century, expanding international relations and making them, as a consequence, more complex. In this conjuncture, Brazil inaugurates its insertion in the multilateral context. Through the strategic action engendered by Rui Barbosa together with Rio Branco, as shown by the exchange of telegrams between them, Brazil has achieved a relevant asset in foreign policy matters.
