The present thesis demonstrates the modifications introduced in the political foreign policy formulation for the Amazon region with the entrance of new actors and its multiples interests in the area. Throughout the text is illustrated how the diversity of actors whose participates in this process is different from those of other regions of the Brazil. This thesis has as its main objective increase the debate about the enrollment of non-traditional actors in this field of study, introducing them into a chain of thought that sees foreign policy not only through its internal constraints but also through the lens of deep forces that acts in the international sphere. The importance of this study to researches about Amazonia refers specially to the fact that this area has an enormous range of actors with a domestic, international or transnational character that acts based on methods such as lobbies and political networks as an attempt to influence domestic and foreign politics for this region. The emergence of the main concerns of foreign policy for the Brazilian part of the forest is discussed, as a result of the increasingly attention with the environment verified at the international arena, which brings important political changes during the authoritarian period (1964-1985). As a result of the redemocratization process (1985-2002) and the raise of intra and inter countries fluxes, the Amazon region, because of its potential resources, returned to the core of debates involving the environment, which had direct impacts at the political domestic rearrangement. More actors started to act in the public discussions about the forest. This originated new ways of promoting Brazilian foreign policy in this field trough non-traditional groups and activities at the country s diplomatic history, but in accordance with its main foreign policy unity: the Itamaraty.
