In this article, going to the personnel file of President Gabriel González Videla (1946-1952) the relationship between his idea of foreign policy and domestic policy especially in its internal crisis with the pro-communist trade union movement is discussed. For authors ideas of international politics predated his administration , and framed within a framework that could be called “progressive “ thinking at the time. His “anti” positions –first anti-fascist and anti– could then be articulated in different and successive times for other more permanent role in his vision as the s inequality international relations topics, the idea of an international democratic community with coercive capacity, and the thesis that democracy had two dimensions, political democracy and economic democracy (also international). This allows researchers to shift their gaze from the international to the national and vice versa, conceiving the domestic as essentially interrelated stage and taking the stage and opportunities for Chilean foreign policy in the beginning Cold War.
