Abstract

The academic literature of think tanks has been related to the United States experience as an ideal type, despite case studies about the United Kingdom, France or even Brazil show distinct but feasible accommodations. This paper aims to discuss the ideational production of Brazilian think tanks about Brazil-Africa relations during the governments of Lula da Silva and Rousseff, considering the main purpose of these institutions on influencing and modelling the action of political actors based on intellectual expertise. A theory review is followed by an exposition of intellectual production of CEBRI, BPC, Igarapé and IPEA about
the foreign policy agenda for the continent, considering two topics of convergence: southsouth cooperation and internationalization of Brazilian companies. Despite the importance of Africa for the foreign policy agenda during these governments, the field of research still restricted to very few think tanks. The studies point out the discursive continuity between both presidencies, being the last one responsible for a strategic adjustment, prevailing companies’ internationalization emphasis over the south-south cooperation.
