Choosing Cooperation: The Strategic Impact of Brazil’s Gripen Acquisition

Authors

  • Karin Wallensteen

Abstract

The Gripen partnership between Brazil and Sweden illustrates how one strategic deal can transform bilateral relations–deepening industrial cooperation, fostering political dialogue, and strengthening ties through technology transfer and co-production. Today, the EU-Mercosur Agreement offers a systemic shift toward large-scale trade integration, investment flows, and institutional cooperation between two continents. In an era of rivalry and unilateralism, this agreement signals a clear choice for partnership and rules-based trade.
