Resumo:
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.
