ABSTRACT
Brazilian economic diplomacy in the agriculture negotiations in the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) illustrates the new dynamics of multilateral trade negotiations and its transformation as a result of the geo-economic shifts at the beginning of the 21st century. Under the auspices of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the DDA started in 2001 with the goal of reforming and strengthening the current international trading rules in all sectors: agriculture, industrial goods, services, plus a number of specific issues, such as anti-dumping and trade and environment, among others. These negotiations comprise a complex set of actors, interests and geometries. The final level of ambition of the Round is supposed to reflect an overall balance of trade-offs.
