Drug trafficking is a new subject in the discipline of International Relations and it has gained substantial highlight in the international security agenda since the 1990s. The end of the Cold War and the resulting political, economic and technological changes influenced on the growth of transnational organized crime and on the change of perception upon it. In this scenario, the issue of drugs is treated politically as a threat to the international system, national states and individuals. The notion of war on drugs was not only incorporated in the global prohibition regime on drugs, but has also guided the US presence on Latin America during the 1990s. The Brazilian attitude toward the drug problem has changed significantly in the 1990s, when a series of legislative and institutional apparatuses were developed in order to combat drug trafficking, based on the identification of threats associated with that crime. The Brazilian international insertion strategy during the 1990s was followed by the recognition of the security issues internationally defined by the global prohibition regime of on drugs, consolidated by multilateral organizations, as well as the drug war waged by the United States on America Latina. This research objective is to identify whether and how Brazil has incorporated the internationally established ideas and policies on drugs throughout the 1990s, identifying political actors and their decisions, as well as evaluating the alignment of concepts and political practices domestically adopted in relations to the international guidelines, based on the institutional and legislative model adopted during the 1990s.
