Abstract

After the end of the Cold War with the disintegration of the Soviet Union that represented the danger of "Communist bloc", the prevailing paradigms in the study of International Relations in crisis. Since the Peace Treaty of Westphalia (1648) religious power had been marginalized in the analysis of power in the international space. However, a new "enemy" to the "West", Islam, attracted the attention of foreign policy strategists in the United States. In this context, religion came to be regarded as an element of analysis in international relations. This free discussion seeks to contribute to the discussion about the role of religion in international relations and about the role of Brazil in this setting in the XXI century.
