Acordo Nuclear Brasil-Alemanha de 1975: questão nuclear na estratégia de valorização internacional brasileira no contexto do pragmatismo responsável do governo Geisel

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the internal and external conjuncture which turned possible the signature of the Agreement of Cooperation in the Field of Pacific Use of Nuclear Energy between the governments of Brazil and Federal Germany in 1975. Our aim is to rescue the treatment of the nuclear matter in Brazil, after the introduction of this theme in the world, that is, after 1945 until the end of the Geisel government in 1979. We emphasize the achievement of the German-Brazilian nuclear agreement which, apparently, would materialize the wish of the Brazilian military regiment to transform Brazil in a nuclearized country. This research also presents the problematic political relations between Washington and Brasilia during the Geisel government, in which the route of deterioration has become the strongest in history in the relation between the two countries. The conclusion we obtained used the arguments which were based on the analysis of the chronology mentioned before, through the perspective of the international relations and under the orientations of economy and external policy conceived by the Geisel government.
