%X this article analyses the recent evolution of brazilian foreign policy, mainly its security aspects. the security issues were repositioned within the brazil£¿s international agenda and have acquired new format during the 1990£¿s, particularly related to the brazil£¿s strategy to build its south american leadership. both, the september 11th attacks and luis in¨¢cio lula da silva election in 2002, have strengthened the previous tendencies, and haven£¿t produced significant changes. two factors are crucial to this process: a) mercosur impact on the regional geopolitical accommodation and b) the recent brazil£¿s policies toward amazon region increasing its presence and political actions.
