Reluctant partners: State industry, Brazilian business and German firms in the 1975 nuclear agreement between Brazil and West Germany
分析了1975年巴西与西德核协议中的工业层面，指出德国伙伴控制关键决策以及巴西实业家参与意愿不足共同导致协议失败，对研究国际产业合作与核能政策的历史学者有参考价值。
This article analyses the industrial dimensions of the nuclear agreement signed between Brazil and West Germany in 1975. Focusing on the contradictions and accommodations among the interests of the Brazilian state, German industry, and Brazilian private-sector-firms, particularly those in the capital goods sector, it examines the implementation of the nuclear program. Drawing on extensive primary sources and engaging with existing historiography, the article argues that, while the industrial clauses of the agreement, which granted German partners control over key strategic decisions, were a major factor in this failure, the limited interest of the Brazilian industrialists in participating in the program also played a decisive role, an aspect largely overlooked in the existing literature.
