Abstract

The relations between Brazil and the European Union combine deep historical ties with renewed strategic relevance amid global instability. Cooperation has expanded across trade, sustainability, the defense of democracy, and multilateral governance, although structural constraints and divergent approaches persist. This article examines the interplay between institutional trajectories, Europe's evolving strategic posture and the intensification of political and sectoral cooperation with Brazil. Shared values and converging interests sustain a predominantly optimistic outlook, notably as the Mercosur-EU Agreement offers instruments to advance a more resilient and comprehensive bilateral agenda.
