Abstract

Role Brazílie na mezinárodní scéně roste od začátku nového milénia. V prezidentském politickém systému může hlava státu upravovat své zapojení do rozhodovacího procesu, a tak prezident F. H. Cardoso ukončil tradiční delegování zahraniční politiky výhradně Ministerstvu zahraničních věcí a představil nový fenomén prezidentské diplomacie. Odborníci však předpokládali, že po odchodu prezidenta Cardosa dojde k jeho úpadku. Komplexní analýza proaktivního zapojení posledních tří brazilských prezidentů do diplomacie ukazuje, že očekávání o vymizení prezidentské diplomacie se nenaplnila a že předchozí osobní zájem a zkušenost v dané oblasti mají rozhodující vliv na zahraničněpolitickou aktivitu prezidentů. Brazil’s role on the international scene has been growing since the beginning of the new millennium. In the presidential political system, the head of state can adjust his/her own involvement in decision-making processes, and so President F. H. Cardoso ended the traditional delegation of foreign policy exclusively to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and introduced a new phenomenon of presidential diplomacy. Scholars expected its decline after his retirement. A complex analysis of last three Brazilian presidents’ pro-active engagement in diplomacy concludes that these expectations did not prove true and that the previous personal interest and experience in the field have a decisive influence on presidents’ activity in foreign policy.
