Resumo

Este artigo analisa o papel do Brasil na promoção global da língua portuguesa. Utilizando o quadro teórico de Cooper sobre a promoção internacional de línguas, o estudo investiga as motivações políticas, económicas e culturais que estão interligadas nas iniciativas de promoção linguística. O presente artigo analisa ainda as acções unilaterais do Brasil, bem como o seu envolvimento com o Instituto Internacional da Língua Portuguesa (IILP) dentro da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP). Com base numa revisão de literatura científica, relatórios e outros documentos oficiais, este artigo revela que a política externa do Brasil tem promovido activamente a língua portuguesa em determinadas geografias, mas não tem dado prioridade à China, apesar da importância da relação bilateral entre os dois países. Além disso, o presente artigo destaca o papel de Macau como ponte entre a China e os países de língua portuguesa, que tem sido cada vez mais reconhecido pela República Popular da China. A conclusão sublinha a necessidade de o Brasil aproveitar efectivamente a posição estratégica de Macau para capitalizar estas oportunidades.
