Resumo

Brazilian foreign policy has historically held the ambition to achieve higher prestige for the country. Status, however, depends not on one’s aspiration, but on how a state is perceived by others. This paper analyses the foreign perceptions about Brazil’s search for status and contrasts it with the country’s diplomacy under Bolsonaro’s administration. It is based on a reflexive thematic analysis of primary data from 94 interviews with the foreign policy community great powers. The article argues that Bolsonaro eroded the main paths powerful nations see as serving for the construction and expansion of Brazil’s international prestige.
