Abstract

This study compares Brazil's participation in two distinct Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (ICCAT and CCAMLR) from the mid-2000s to 2019 to reveal how domestic governance issues such as substitutability and regulatory capture shape its international negotiation strategies. By contrasting Brazil's active fishing role in ICCAT with its conservation-focused stance in CCAMLR, the study demonstrates how varying domestic interests influence the country’s international engagement and sustainability commitments. By analyzing primary and secondary sources, including government documents, international submissions, and reports from non-governmental organizations, this study offers insights into the complexities of fisheries management in Brazil. The findings reveal that Brazil's contributions to and stance on RFMOs are significantly shaped by internal challenges, including governance instability and insufficient fisheries data, which hinder the formulation of coherent and effective international fishery policies. This study highlights the need for improved governance framework, data reliability, and a balanced approach to environmental and economic objectives to enhance the sustainability of fishery management practices. It provides critical perspectives for policymakers, stakeholders, and researchers concerned with advancing sustainable fisheries governance in Brazil and similar global contexts.
