“…In addition, the origins of the SP have been revisited to scrutinise further the main factors that enabled its successful conclusion in 2007 (Santander 2016;Meissner 2018;Müller 2018). Some studies address the bilateral SP and related topics largely from the perspective of Brazil (Gratius 2018;Saraiva 2018;Guimarães and Piefer 2016), while most of them overlook the hardening of the EU's multilevel crisis path derived from the combination of challenges mentioned above.…”

This Book Series aims to be a central resource for the growing community of scholars and policy-makers who engage with the evolving interface between the EU and international affairs. It provides in-depth, cutting edge and original contributions of world-class research on the EU in international affairs by highlighting new developments, insights, challenges and opportunities. It encompasses analyses of the EU's international role, as mediated by its own Member States, in international institutions and in its strategic bilateral and regional partnerships. Books in the Series examine evolving EU internal policies that have external implications and the ways in which these are both driven by, and feed back into, international developments. Grounded in Political Science, International Relations, International Political Economy, Law, Sociology and History, the Series reflects a commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship. We welcome book proposals relating to the changing role of the EU in international affairs across policies and the Union's relations with different parts of the world, as well as relations with states and multilateral institutions. We are interested in research on values and norms, interests and global governance and welcome both theory-informed studies and studies comparing the EU with other major global actors. To

“…An alternative thesis to the precautionary principle argument is that the divergent logics surrounding the role biofuels are expected to play in the EU and US could more convincingly explain Brazilian perceptions (see e.g. [31] to radiate a clear vision with respect to biofuels is a key driver of Brazil's negative perceptions.…”

“…Irrespective of the country and agent, typical attributes associated with the EU include democracy and human rights, an agent of peace, a multilateral actor or a successful model of regional integration [5]. While the EU has been acknowledged as an economic powerhouse, perceptions of its capacities as a great player in the international community have been less emphatic, being largely viewed as a power in decline, including in Brazil [29,31].…”

Traditional global powers like the European Union and the United States are seeing the rise of emerging powers like Brazil as prospective cooperation partners. Examining how traditional powers are perceived by their emerging counterparts offers critical insights into the prerequisites for effective and durable partnerships. While the literature on external perceptions has expanded considerably, a comparative perspective on how emerging powers perceive the policies of the two transatlantic powers in issue-specific areas is lacking. We present a framework of explanatory variables (legitimacy, coherence and negotiating style) and apply it to interview data and the literature to unravel Brazil's relations on biofuels with the EU and US, including through trilateral partnerships with third countries. Our data show that while Brazil's partnership with the US has progressed, the one with the EU has struggled to advance. Our paper seeks to explain these differences using our framework, advance understanding on the external perceptions of the international role and collaborative posture of the EU and US, and provide policy insights for the fruitful conduct of partnerships.

“…In Figure 2 (section 2.3) we presented the time series utilized and, according to that time series, the discontinuous nature of the observations over the weeks is evident. This occurs for different reasons, ranging from political influence on the energy pricing process [58] to theoretical limitations in defining the difference settlement price in Brazil [59].…”

Electricity price forecasting on electricity spot market: a case study based on the Brazilian Difference Settlement Price

Developing predictive models is a complex task since it deals with the uncertainty and the stochastic behavior of variables. Specifically concerning commodities, accurately predicting their future prices allows us to minimize risks and establish more reliable decision support mechanisms. Although the discussion on this question is extensive, there is academic attention being paid to the construction of nonparametric models applied to energy markets, as they have presented promising predictive results, what justifies the present study. This paper applies classical statistical models and Dynamic Time Scan Forecasting (DTSF) to the short-term electricity market prices, in Brazil, from 2006 to 2019. DTSF consists of scanning a time series and then identifying past patterns (so-called “matches”), similar to the last available observations. We predict Brazilian electricity spot prices, according the most similar matches, using aggregation functions, such as median. Recent research on the electricity spot market is increasing, indicating research significance. Our predictive approach exhibited greater accuracy than seminal statistical models. Our approach was designed for a high frequency series. Its predictive performance remained robust when other models presented both high predictive errors (spring), as well as when those models are highly accurate (winter). For future research, we recommend a more finely-tune study on DTSF parameters.
