Summary: The present work is an interdisciplinary bibliographical research, whose
qualitative analysis aims to analyze the process of amplitude and cooling of the social dimension of the Foreign Policy of the Brazilian capitalist state observed in the period of the governments of the Workers Party (2003-2016) in the light of dialectical historical materialism. The category Social Foreign Policy was created to refer to social policies coming from social movements in order to achieve increased social welfare from the reduction of asymmetries arising from the social issue in contemporary capitalism, An intersection and parallelism between the dimensions of Social Policy and Brazilian Foreign Policy, confluence observed from the process of redemocratization and materialized in the 1988 Constitution, inserted in a neoliberal order. The hypothesis is that on the liberal prism in which the area of international relations is based, beyond the disciplines own limits, Social Policy is fragmented at the level of Foreign Policy being treated merely by social issues. Using the perspective of the Social Policy and State approach of Nicos Poulantzas (1977;1981), we sought to give adequate analysis to the role of social forces in the expansion of social policies in the capitalist state, as well as explain its role of retreat against the fluctuations of capital.
