The scope of this research is to investigate the dynamics bases guiding of the phases of the relationship between the Global Plauers Brazil and China in the appreciation of the term strategic partnership, since its inception in 1993 until today - when that relationship is elevated to a global strategic partnership in June 2012, assuming proportions truly strategic for both countries in the multilateral context of global economic crisis. It will analyze the degree of compatibility between the positions of these countries in global governance forums - particularly the United Nations, showing the variations of the approach that characterized the conduct of the partnership over the years, in congruence with issues tangential to the sphere economic-trade, especially the new complementary business model assumed in the 2000s.
