Abstract

The relevance of the sea in Portugal-Brazil relations was eloquently captured by Brazilian singer Chico Buarque in his 1975 song “So much Sea” [Tanto Mar]. The sea is what connects, but also what distances the two countries. If the sea is so important for Portugal and Brazil, how does it influence their bilateral relationship? This chapter assesses the opportunities and challenges in maritime cooperation between the two countries in various areas (infrastructure, science and technology, and defence). As the Atlantic Ocean becomes a hotspot in the hegemonic competition between the US and China, the chapter also analyses how these dynamics affect Brazil’s and Portugal’s stakes in this geopolitical area.
