Impactos do primeiro choque do petróleo na política externa brasileira: a busca pela diversidade da matriz energética e garantia do fornecimento de petróleo durante o governo do governo do general Ernesto Geisel

Abstract

The first oil shock in 1973 marked a turning point in the global economy and directly impacted Brazil, exposing its vulnerability to the volatility of international oil prices. This study analyzes how General Ernesto Geisel's government responded to the crisis, focusing on diversifying the energy matrix and pursuing international agreements to ensure the security of oil supply. These efforts were essential in mitigating the economic effects of the crisis and consolidating Brazil's strategic position in the global scenario. The research also investigates the impacts of the oil shock on Brazilian foreign and economic policy, addressing the measures implemented to reduce energy dependence and strengthen economic stability. By exploring the challenges faced and the solutions adopted, this study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between energy crises and foreign policy strategies, offering insights for developing contemporary public policies.
