Abstract

How does international development cooperation (IDC) unfold in the domestic arena? More specifically, how priorities and dimensions addressed in cooperation agreements enter the domestic public policy agenda? This article seeks to present elements that respond to such questions, through qualitative analysis based on bibliography review and documental analysis of bilateral agreements on energy efficiency signed by Brazil with the developed countries, Brazilian national energy policies legislation implemented since the first oil crisis in the 1970s and the Brazilian National Plan on Climate Change. The goal is to identify the actors and the mechanisms by which those programs, which were originally structured in developed countries, spread to Brazilian energy policy and characterize the instruments, in this case, cooperation agreements between the parties. We investigate the stakeholders involved in the negotiations, the issues privileged, the sectors and topics covered as well as the financial sources of the projects negotiated. As a result, we highlight that IDC conditioned the content of energy efficiency programs (EEPs) adopted, signaling that Brazilian Foreign Policy (BFP) has a relevant role to play in energy politics in Brazil.
