Abstract

The sources of origin of ideas in foreign policy are investigated in order to understand the links and influences between diplomacy and foreign policy and the presence of academia in its formulation. According to Cervo (2008), in Brazil
the production of these ideas has been generated in the offices of the ministries of foreign affairs and in academia. This statement is taken as a research hypothesis, analyzing the relationships between diplomacy and academia. The methodology was based on interviews, primary and secondary sources. It is concluded that each case is different, although in general the academy has not been relevant —with the exception of Chile— but some academics have been, in Brazil and Argentina, confirming the scarce presence of the academy in decision-making that remains in a «black box», preventing knowing the ideas of the groups that participate in the decisions, including diplomats and other actors. There is little relationship between diplomats and academics and their opinion is not influential or decisive in the presidential decision.
