%X Os cem anos do fim da gest o do Bar o do Rio Branco no Minist¨¦rio das Rela  es Exteriores do Brasil coincidem com um momento politicamente prop¨ªcio para se revisitar o legado do patrono da diplomacia brasileira, em especial o referente aos Estados Unidos e ao Prata, os dois principais eixos das rela  es externas do Pa¨ªs. Examinam-se o teor das rela  es com a pot¨ºncia hegem nica do hemisf¨¦rio e o car¨¢ter oscilante daquelas com a Argentina. A partir de fontes prim¨¢rias e bibliogr¨¢ficas, o autor procura demonstrar que Rio Branco, al¨¦m do fechamento dos limites do territ¨®rio nacional, firmou tend¨ºncias e procedimentos que se incorporaram ¨¤ tradi  o da diplomacia brasileira, analisando, para isso, a fun  o do alinhamento Rio de Janeiro-Washington no conjunto da pol¨ªtica externa do chanceler e o padr o das rela  es com o governo argentino, fatores que influenciaram seus movimentos no entorno geogr¨¢fico. A pol¨ªtica de prest¨ªgio desenvolvida por Rio Branco decorreu da aspira  o em diferenciar seu pa¨ªs do conjunto de na  es do segmento sul do hemisf¨¦rio, identificadas com convuls es pol¨ªticas e insolv¨ºncia financeira. The hundredth anniversary of the end of Baron of Rio Branco's administration at the Brazilian Ministry of External Relations matches with a politically favorable moment for examining the legacy of the patron of the Brazilian Diplomacy, especially concerning the United States and the R¨ªo de la Plata, the two main axes of Brazilian foreign relations. It examines the content of the relations with the hemisphere's hegemonic power and the oscillating nature of the relations with Argentina. Using primary and bibliographic sources, the author aims to demonstrate that, in addition to accomplishing the process of delimiting the country's boundaries, Rio Branco established trends and procedures which were incorporated into the Brazilian Diplomatic Tradition. For this, the author analyzes the role the Rio de Janeiro-Washington alignment plays in the set of the chancellor's foreign policy and the pattern of relations with the Argentinean government - factors that have influenced Brazil's movements in its geographical surroundings. The foreign policy of prestige developed by Rio Branco derived from the aspiration to distinguish his country from the set of nations in the Southern Hemisphere, which are associated with political upheaval and financial insolvency.
