O sistema multilateral de comércio e a atuação do Brasil no Sistema de Solução de Controvérsias da OMC: uma análise acerca do contencioso Embraer-Bombardier (1998-2002)

Abstract

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the international organization responsible for developing and applying rules that regulate the context of international trade. The Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) is the subdivision of the organization responsible for judging cases of breach of agreements and commitments made by member countries, which contributes to the creation of an environment of unfair competition in relation to the external market. The dispute between Brazil and Canada in the ambit of the Embraer-Bombardier dispute was one of the most relevant cases in which Brazil has acted since the creation of the WTO. In this sense, this work aims to understand the factors that contributed to the structuring of the multilateral trading system, to analyze the relevance of the aeronautical industry to Brazil and to identify the motivating factors that led the country to face Canada in the commercial litigation, as well as the deployment and the main consequences of this process.
