O lugar das fontes renováveis no relacionamento do Brasil com os "RICS" na área de energia: uma análise da agenda bilateral e das declarações de cúpula (1990-2018)
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2020, Vol 11, Issue 53
Abstract
This paper discusses the energy reality within the BRICS, with special attention to renewable energies. From this perspective, Brazil emerges with a prominent role in the coalition, being considered one of the most decarbonized countries in the world, a pioneer in bioenergy and one of the global leaders in wind and hydroelectric generation. On the other hand, coal occupies a considerable space in the energy matrix of South Africa, China and India. In addition, the has the largest crude oil producer in the world: Russia. Taking into consideration the potential and challenges of each country regarding this matter, this research is structured around two main axes: to evaluate how renewable sources permeate the bilateral agreements signed by Brazil in the area of energy with the “RICS”; and understand how the debate is characterized in the summits joint declarations. The methodology used involved the construction of an original database, as well as the application of descriptive statistics and content analysis techniques. The results indicate that China and Russia dominate Brazil's bilateral energy agenda with the RICS and that the Lula administration has been, since the redemocratization, the most active in terms of the number of international energy acts signed with these partners. The findings also indicate some points of intersection between the bilateral agenda and the joint positions adopted in the summit declarations, although there was no increase in energy agreements after the establishment of the BRICS.
