This article intended to investigate the instrumentality of military power for Brazil's foreign policy in the post-Cold War era. A theoretical framework for the interpretation of sovereign unities' relationship was delimitated. South America's security complex and Brazil's role in its conformation were discussed. Problems related to Brazil's defense policy and the difficulties concerning its proper articulation with foreign policy were analyzed. Finally, initiatives were suggested that could contribute to the improvement of Brazil's foreign and defense policies' interface. Adapted from the source document.
