| dc.description.abstract | Since the 1990s, Brazil has expanded trade flows and its trading partners, especially in relation to South-South relations. The country has strengthened its trade relationship with these countries more than the traditional North-South relationship. The objective of the study was to analyze the profile of trade, by degree of technological intensity, between Brazil and South America, Brazil and Africa and Brazil and South Asia, in the period 2000-2015. The classification by technological intensity adopted in this research was proposed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). It was concluded that the national exports, in the South-South trade relationship, were characterized by medium-high products and low technological intensities and not by primary products, contrary to what was observed in exports from Brazil to the world in the years 2000. South-South trade is thus an opportunity for developing countries to expand their exports and benefit from technology transfers. | en |
