A Inserção econômica internacional do Brasil: análise do grau de abertura comercial da economia brasileira entre 2010 e 2018

Abstract

The current international economic scenario, besides being marked by strong globalization, has also been promoting more interdependence and cooperation between countries. Therefore, it becomes essential to understand the way different economies insert themselves internationally and the commercial relations between them. Brazil is an emerging economy still very concentrated on primary production, which presents certain challenges to its economic development and to a strategic international economic integration. Thus, this research intends to analyse the degree of commercial openness of the brazilian economy between 2010 and 2018, aiming to comprehend if the country tends more to protectionism or to the open market strategies. The goal is, through qualitative and quantitative research about the recent development of the brazilian economy and through a comparative analysis of its trade relations with other economies in the world, to create a general scenario of the current challenges and limitations faced by the country and of its potential and opportunities of integration in the current international economic setting.
