Dear researcher,

FROM THE JOURNAL:
It is with great pleasure that we present the undergraduate journal of the Laboratório de Análise Internacional Bertha Lutz: “A Internacionalista”. Our aim is to democratize access to knowledge and learning in International Relations by offering a publishing platform for undergraduate articles so that they have greater visibility on the Brazilian and international scene. Our editorial team believes that a diversity of opinions and perspectives is fundamental to covering the multiplicity of what is produced and debated in International Relations. As such, our publications cover a variety of themes and approaches, from international politics to human rights issues, the environment and technology. In addition to promoting access to knowledge and learning, our editorial project aims to guide undergraduate students at the University of São Paulo’s Institute of International Relations and members of LAI Bertha Lutz on how to produce a scientific project in a scene that is not very democratized and still needs improvement. With this, we hope to contribute to the development of research in International Relations in Brazil and around the world.
