Foreword to the English edition In 2013, the Alexandre de Gusmão Foundation (Funag), a think tank linked to the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, convened a group of historians, international relations scholars, and diplomats, to discuss the formation of ideas and concepts throughout the evolution of Brazilian foreign policy. As a result of these meetings of highly respected intellectuals, the conclusion was reached that Brazilian diplomacy has historically developed its own patterns of thought in support of its actions. The promoters of the initiative endeavored to inspire further research and debate in order to advance and deepen the analysis of this broad and enriching field of study. “Brazilian Diplomatic Thought – Policymakers and Agents of Foreign Policy (1750-1964)” constitutes the outcome of Funag’s pioneering project of promoting public debate in the area. This three-volume publication identifies and analyzes the underlying concepts of Brazilian diplomacy since its inception – even before the independence of the country in 1822 – up to the year 1964. The work highlights the contributions of remarkable personalities who distinguished themselves in this conceptual elaboration. It also discusses the contexts in which core values and interests guided Brazil’s diplomatic actions during the period in question and beyond. Until recently, the available bibliography on this subject was limited. It even lacked an answer to the fundamental question: “Is there a Brazilian diplomatic thought?” And then, if one answers that question positively, “What are the foundations upon which Brazilian diplomatic thought was built, and what are its main features?” Additionally, one can ask: “What was the genesis of this thought, and where can one find the sources to document its evolution?” Then finally, “Who were the outstanding figures responsible for its formulation and implementation?” Given the importance of Brazil’s regional standing and its global projection, this exploratory effort in the nation’s diplomatic history is of equal interest to researchers and scholars abroad. The English and Spanish editions of this collection are, therefore, justified by making the findings accessible to a larger segment of the public. This scholarly work underscores the central role of diplomacy in the process of building the Brazilian nation-state. It also reveals how diplomacy helped to preserve the integrity of a land with continental dimensions, and peacefully settle the country’s borders with ten neighboring countries – among which were two European powers. The challenges of maintaining unity against a background of domestic ethnic and cultural diversity – in addition to external forces of fragmentation – were gradually overcome, and a common identity was forged. In a world in which nationalism and ethnicity, even today, make the concept of identity hard to achieve and sustain, this narrative on the construction of Brazil and the role played by its diplomats and statesmen will be of great interest to audiences beyond the country’s geographic borders. Being acquainted with South American history, one can better gauge the contribution of Brazilian diplomacy to establish long- lasting conditions for peace in the region. Geopolitical factors in South America make this continent one of the few areas in the world without serious interstate conflicts. This is not, however, an accident. In contrast to what happened in North America, much of it derives from the patterns Brazil established through the peaceful settlement of its borders based on international law principles negotiated bilaterally or through international arbitration. Such conditions were not the result of fortuitous circumstances; nor did they occur by chance. Rather, they were created by diplomatic effort and initiative, which consolidated a regional paradigm of foreign policy. 1 This three-volume collection should serve as a stimulus to further research on the evolution of Brazil’s foreign policy princi- ples, traditions and practices in order to promote knowledge on how South American rivalry, conflict and instability transitioned into confidence-building measures and, ultimately, an environment of international peace, cooperation and stability. The role of diplomacy in Brazilian history and the making of its identity are of such importance that one of the greatest heroes of the nation was a career diplomat, José Maria da Silva Paranhos Junior, also known as the Baron of Rio Branco. Inspired by good neighborliness and a commitment to international law, Rio Branco’s successful negotiations of border issues established not only the final shape of Brazil’s territory, but also a regional and hemispheric standard, with positive consequences for the international community as they enhanced principles and values, contributing to the consolidation of diplomacy, jus gentium, and the rule of law. 1 Examples of Brazil´s soft power are frequent in this work; they shape the narrative and characterize the country’s foreign policy. Although less conspicuous, cases in which hard power was used also play an important role. Brazil was, for example, the only country in Latin America to have participated in the two World Wars. In the Second World War, it was, again, the only Latin American nation to have fought in the European military theater. In contrast to the fragmentation of Hispanic America, territorial integrity and the integration of diverse regions were challenging symbols of nation building in both the Imperial and Republican eras of Brazil. The dual processes of ensuring national unity through integrity and integration included elements of political, legal and diplomatic judgment, which were gradually formulated and established as a historical paradigm by diplomats and political leaders alike. There are always methodological difficulties in the elaboration of a project such as this one. We readily acknowledge, for example, that the selected figures do not exhaust all foreign-policy makers and agents who contributed to the realization of the principles and ideas that represent Brazilian diplomatic thought. One aim of this initiative is to inspire others to improve and complete the narrative, in both its temporal dimension – beyond 1964 – and its geographic scope. The chapters in these three volumes could be enhanced by the

En ausencia de una justificación de la intervención uruguaya en la Guerra del Paraguay, fue un representante de los opositores a la misma, Luis A. de Herrera, quien produjo los primeros estudios significativos. Estos estudios, publicados entre 1908 y 1952, atribuyeron las causas de la guerra a la previa invasión de Uruguay por el Gral. Venancio Flores, con apoyo de Argentina y Brasil, y al enfrentamiento estructural entre Buenos Aires y las provincias argentinas, del cual la campaña contra Paraguay habría sido una instancia más. A partir de mediados del siglo XX, el influyente periódico Marcha de Montevideo adhirió a la interpretación de Herrera y la popularizó—aunque mediada por las tesis y teorías de otros autores—entre el público lector uruguayo.

  • The Inviolability of Diplomatic Archives
    THE INVIOLABILITY OF DIPLOMATIC ARCHIVES TIMMEDIATELY following Pearl Harbor, officials of the em- A bassy of the United States at Tokyo and of the Japanese embassy Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/8/1/26/2742083/aarc_8_1_k010662414m87w48.pdf by guest on 25 September 2021 at Washington destroyed their confidential diplomatic records. American Ambassador Joseph C. Grew asserted, "The moment we knew that the news of war had been confirmed I gave orders to burn all our codes and confidential correspondence."1 Huge bonfires which emanated from the grounds of the Japanese embassy at Wash- ington served as dramatic evidence that the Japanese treated their important archives similarly.2 These actions illustrate that modern states are unwilling to entrust their vital documents to the diplomatic representatives of neutral governments at the outbreak of war, even though international law and practice dictate that records so de- posited are inviolate. Such an attitude stimulates an inquiry into the extent to which diplomatic archives are considered inviolable under international law and the extent to which the principles of interna- tional law are being observed. This subject has never been adequately investigated by scholars, although it is a matter of definite im- portance to the international lawyer and diplomat on the one hand, and the historian and the archivist on the other. What are diplomatic archives? For the purposes of this paper diplomatic archives are defined as the written evidences of the

  • Ideologies of Diplomacy: Rhetoric, Ritual, and Representation in Early Modern England
    • • Ideologies of Diplomacy: Rhetoric, Ritual, and Representation in Early Modern England Jane Yeang Chui Wong Nanyang Technological University Singapore In 2008 John Watkins edited a special issue for the Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies, “Toward a New Diplomatic History of Medi- eval and Early Modern Europe,” which initiated a necessary and meaning- ful assessment of diplomatic studies in premodern Europe.1 The call for a more nuanced study of diplomacy in the period brought together a group of scholars with a common interest: their essays test and broaden conven- tional frameworks that generally isolate the study of premodern diplomacy within the confines of diplomatic documentation. In drawing on the multi- disciplinary expertise of the contributors, Watkins’s special issue reevaluates premodern diplomatic studies in a richer and more complex sociocultural landscape that acknowledges and examines the undocumented import of diplomacy- in- the- making. Using interdisciplinary frameworks that take up discussions of gender, semantics, patronage, and race, among others, schol- ars of New Diplomatic History look beyond the immediacy of documentary evidence to explain the variegated processes of creating and understanding diplomatic discourses in the premodern era. This special issue hews closely to Watkins’s cross- disciplinary aim in a number of ways, but it also offers a response in light of developments in the field since then. The proliferation of scholarly works on New Diplomatic History, quite possibly at its most excit- ing and dynamic phase, has introduced some very promising contributions, identifying strategic limitations that were considered but not yet thoroughly problematized before. The current critical impulse for proponents of New Diplomatic History can be traced to a general dissatisfaction with a lapse of innova- tion and how, for many years, its development has remained out of sync with the wider and ever- growing interdisciplinary developments in the study of early modern Europe.

Bras. Polít. Int. 57 (2): 9-28 [2014] Introduction José Maria da Silva Paranhos Jr., Baron of Rio Branco, epitomizes Brazilian nationalism.1 Despite the impenetrable personality that motivated Nabuco to call him a “Sphinx,” his political and diplomatic legacy, especially with regard to the demarcation of national borders, is revered as of great importance for the construction of the international identity of Brazil. Although much has been written about the character and his legacy, it seems clear the laudatory character of the vast majority of those narratives. Given the author’s dissatisfaction with this state of affairs and out of respect for the memory of Itamaraty’s patron, I intend to address an issue that lies at the heart of a series of distortions about the meaning of Paranhos Jr.’s diplomacy: the role of naval power in the broader context of the grand strategy implemented during Rio Branco’s administration as chancellor.

  • On the Surnames of Latin American Presidents
    BASQUE LEGACY IN THE NEW WORLD: ON THE SURNAMES OF LATIN AMERICAN PRESIDENTS Patxi Salaberri Iker Salaberri UPNA / NUP UPV / EHU Abstract In this article we explain the etymology of the surnames of Basque origin that some presidents of Latin American countries have or have had in the past. These family names were created in the language called Euskara, in the Basque Country (Europe), and then, when some of the people who bore them emigrated to America, they brought their sur- names with them. Most of the family names studied here are either oiconymic or topo- nymic, but it must be kept in mind that the oiconymic ones are, very often, based on house-nicknames, that is, they are anthroponymic in the first place. As far as possible, we have related the surname, when its origin is oiconymic or toponymic, to its source, i.e. to the house or place where it was created. Key words: Basque, etymology, family name, Latin America, oiconym, placename, nickname.

  • The Missing Key to More Effective U.S. Diplomacy: Religious Liberty Lecture Delivered at Benne Center for Religion & Society
    1 The Missing Key to More Effective U.S. Diplomacy: Religious Liberty Lecture delivered at Benne Center for Religion & Society, Roanoke College, February 9, 2015 Thomas F. Farr* Last week we were treated to the spectacle of Henry Kissinger, who had been Secretary of State during the Vietnam War and is now 91 years old, being heckled as he testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator John McCain, who had been tortured as a prisoner of war in Hanoi, reacted with anger, calling the hecklers “low-life scum.” Memories of Vietnam, it seems, remain strong among some elements of the American population. Notwithstanding the hecklers, Mr. Kissinger is generally respected in the foreign policy establishment as the doyen of American “realism.” In 1994 he wrote his magnum opus. Entitled Diplomacy, Kissinger’s book was a survey of diplomatic history from the 16th century to the contemporary age. When he published it he was considered by many the greatest scholar- practitioner of foreign policy in American history. Among the remarkable things about Kissinger’s book, and its status as a contemporary classic, is its treatment of religion. In fact, the book is a veritable “religion-free zone.” Diplomacy is quite long, and it has an appropriately large index. But the word “religion” does not appear in the index. Religious ideas and religious actors make almost no appearance in the text. After a brief treatment of the 17th century wars of religion, Diplomacy simply banishes religion from the world stage, as if it were no longer relevant to the motives and actions of modern men and modern states.
