Diplomacia em saúde: a inserção internacional brasileira nos governos FHC, Lula e Dilma a partir da internalização de recomendações obstétricas internacionais (1995-2014)

Abstract

Since the Fernando Henrique Cardoso's government there was the reworking of the Brazilian insertion strategies in the context of the post-Cold War, highlighting the relevance of multilateral forums as a means for the expansion of Brazilian autonomy on the international stage. The aim is to analyse Brazil's international insertion in the governments of Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-2002), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) and Dilma Rousseff (2011-2014), through the internalization of international obstetric recommendations by the Brazilian governmental agencies. To do so, is necessary to debate the rapprochement between public policy and foreign policy, the institutionalization of health diplomacy, the conception of international insertion and the history of the Brazilian performance in health multilateral forums and the internalization of international recommendations concerning birth care in Brazil. The problem questions if the relationship between the stipulated by the international health recommendations and the Brazilian governmental guidelines for obstetric care would be linked to a policy of Brazil's greater international insertion during FHC, Lula and Dilma's governments. The hypothetical-deductive method is used, employing the available literature review on the topic and the analysis of documentary sources and statistics. It is assumed as an initial hypothesis that the internalization of international obstetric recommendations, thought guidelines of the Brazilian governmental agencies, especially the Ministry of Health, confirming the interest of greater international insertion of Brazil during the governments of FHC, Lula and Rousseff.
