The aim of this thesis is to determine whether the election of the leftist president Lula had an impact on the continuity of the Brazilian foreign policy towards the USA. Firstly, the concept of autonomy in foreign relations is introduced and subsequently put into context of South America and eventually into the context of Brazil itself. The second part offers an insight into some aspects of the political system of Brazil such as the presidential diplomacy and coalitional presidentialism.
