“…Typically, this 'backwardness' was explained either to be an expression of their incipient economies (i.e. poor infrastructure, low productivity, lack of industries, and insufficient human capital), 35 or related to the 'backward elements' within the state, such as indigenous and rural people, 36 or some combination of both. 37…”

“…International law and international human rights mechanisms have been the subject of sustained postcolonial and leftist critiques. 20 "[T]endered as an antipolitical and expressly moral antidote to abusive political power," 21 the international human rights project is understood to depoliticize struggles for justice and therefore obstruct the possibility of profound, systemic change. The focus on individual suffering disconnects physical repression from the broader neoliberal economic project it has often served to implement, ironically preventing us from understanding the profound causes of physical violence itself, and leaving intact the unequal socioeconomic and geopolitical conditions.…”

“…It is undisputed that from XVI century to the end of XX century, international legal framework was largely conducted by an Euro-American structural driver, which was created, backed and reinforced by substantial (military and economic) and ideational (symbolic) powers [17][18][19][20][21][22][23].

The current international legal regulation of the Arctic and Antarctica was organized during the second half of the XX century to establish an international public power over the two regions, the Arctic Council (AC) and the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), which is characterized by Euro-American dominance. However, the rise of emerging countries at the beginning of the XXI century suggests a progressive redefinition of the structural balance of international power in favor of states not traditionally perceived as European and Western. This article examines the role of Brazil within the AC and the ATS to address various polar issues, even institutional ones. As a responsible country in the area of cooperation in science and technology in the oceans and polar regions in BRICS, Brazil appeals to its rich experience in Antarctica and declares its interest in joining the Arctic cooperation. For Brazil, participation in polar cooperation is a way to increase its role in global affairs and BRICS as a negotiating platform. It is seen in this context as a promising tool to achieve this goal. This article highlights new paths in the research agenda concerning interests and prospects of Brazilian agency in the polar regions.
