This research presents a reflective study about possible causes and the impacts of political instability on the performance of international trade. In a theoretical essay format, this article is based on a theoretical review of authors discussing globalization and its reflections on States, and on the specificities that characterize political instability. In sequence, with the purpose of evidencing the elements that were identified from the theoretical revision, a study based on a documentary survey was carried out, detailing the situations and context of countries that have passed or recently experienced political instability: Tunisia, Ukraine, Paraguay and Brazil, in order to analyze the impacts that the political instability causes in the International Trade of these countries.
