Os efeitos da globalização nas economias brasileira e chinesa: a importância das políticas internas

This research aims to analyze the effects of the globalization in the Brazilian and Chinese economies. The central thesis is that globalization and its consequences have risks, but also opportunities for developing countries that could be exploited by the internal policies. Besides, indicators are constructed from domestic value added in exports and the economic complexity index. In general the increase in participation in value chains did not imply structural transformation for both economies as the Chinese economy has sought to overcome path dependence and use globalization as a “window of opportunity”, through the diversification of the productive structure, and the Brazilian is going for another way.
