“…Although recent years have given rise to promising prospects, EU-Brazil relations, whether explored from the Brazilian perspective or through a European lens, continue to be subject to insufficient academic attention when compared with the analytical interest given to relations with others emerging powers, like China and Russia (Ferreira-Pereira 2015). This article has attempted to be an addition to the literature on the EU-Brazil relationship by consolidating knowledge of the context, motivations and expectations that brought the 2007 EU-Brazil SP into being, the degree to which it has been implemented and what it has meant in practice for the substance of this bilateral relationship.…”

Most contributions tend to look to this bilateral relationship through a Brazilian lens.…”

This article focuses on the evolving nature of the foreign policy of the European Union (EU) towards Brazil, which gained momentum and became more dynamic and denser after the establishment of a formal strategic partnership (SP) in 2007. It provides a historical overview of the institutional relations between Brussels and Brasília, before proceeding with an analysis of the main drivers behind this novel development. The study goes on to offer a critical examination of the implementation of the EU-Brazil SP by casting light on both its major achievements and the challenges it has faced. It concludes that the establishment of a formal strategic partnership with Brazil has contributed to the strengthening of the EU's globally oriented partnership policy and ultimately to the incremental empowerment of the EU necessary to the assertion of its values, objectives and interests on the international stage.1 In this article, 'the EU' will refer both to its current form and to its predecessors.
