Abstract

In this paper we intend to outline alternatives to the field of International Relations in Brazil in a comparative effort with the Indian academic reality. From the start we try to put the so-called “Brasília School” project to the field in Brazil into critical enquiry. Thus, we support that it is not convenient to discard the theories of international relations altogether in order to replace them by the construction of Brazilian concepts applied to the field. Rather we understand it would be more complex and richer to open our field to critical dialogue with such theories in a two way move able to restore classic Brazilian authors with possible contributions to International Relations. In India, a new generation of IR scholars is currently defending the dialogue between Western theories and Hindu conceptual traditions. They want to avoid the parochial setbacks involved in national schools of IR. We consider we may have much to learn with them if we aim at opening the Brazilian IR field.
