The article examines the impact of the concept of autonomy in Brazilian foreign policy (BFP), situating it within the contemporary dynamics of Latin America and the international system. It proposes an updated research agenda that addresses the challenges posed by Sino-American rivalry, the hedging strategies adopted by countries in the region, and the interactions between autonomy, developmentalism, and multilateralism. The study adopts the theoretical framework of Judith Goldstein and Robert Keohane, as outlined in the seminal book Ideas and Foreign Policy (1993), to understand how ideas shape the preferences and strategies of state actors. The analysis seeks to highlight the relevance of autonomy as a structuring principle of BFP and its articulation with economic and political imperatives in the global arena.
