Abstract

This essay aims to advance the understanding of how cooperation between Brazil and
the United States is characterized in the light of bilateral international agreements that
deal with energy signed between 1990 and 2020. Using the principles of the constructivist
theory of international relations, the article intends to demonstrate points that favored and
hindered the approximation of the two American Republics in the valorization of energy
elements. The research results indicate that the cooperation between the two countries
was focused on the search for the development of renewable fuels due to the debates on
global warming. In addition, we found that while on the Brazilian side there was a balance
in signing acts between governments, on the United States side, the Obama administration
was the most engaged.
