Leal-Arcas, Rafael. (2008) The EU and Brazil: Trading Partners in Different Fora. Jean Monnet/Robert Schuman Paper Series Vol. 8, No. 11 June 2008. [Working Paper]
Abstract
[From the Introduction] This paper aims at understanding the potential of partnership of the European Union (EU) with Brazil, focusing on international trade law and policy. Although the power base of Brazil is its respective region, there may be specific policy areas in which its influence might be global. (1) With this in mind, the paper raises interesting questions: is the EU an attractive partner for Brazil? Does the EU want cooperation with Brazil? What are the characteristics of Brazil? What are the EU’s priorities in its foreign trade policy? With which instruments can the EU engage Brazil and how can the EU internal coordination be ensured?
