Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 15
Abstract
The current article evaluates the results of “bureaucratic insulation” as a course of action adopted by the Foreign Relations Ministry (MRE) within the brazilian federal administration. The total share of the federal budget received by the MRE between the years of 2000 and 2011 is taken as the measure of success achieved by the “bureaucreatic insulation” strategy.
