摘要Abstract

The forces of economic globalization have brought a number of surprising changes for Brazil’s role in the World, among these, China has become our major trading partner. This has made it necessary for citizens of each country to get to know the other better, knowledge is a pre-requisite to deepen the grounds for cooperation on the one hand and to avoid that unresolvable differences lead to a ‘clash of civilizations’ (Huntington) on the other hand.

            From 2009 the concept BRICS emerged to build a political entity, through which Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa agreed to cooperate in order to strengthen exchanges and cooperate to transform the structures of financial power seen as dominated by the West. In the West this grouping is readily dismissed as being an anti-Western grouping.

            This paper will employ comparative survey data (World Values Study and PEW) and discuss a number of general issues around the BRICS. After clarification of the paper will move to deepen understanding around several important issues by employing data drawn from the first-ever piece of Sino-Brazilian social science research, a survey which examined values, horizons and lifestyles of young Chinese and Brazilian undergraduate students in six universities in each country. (Dwyer et ali. 2016)  

            The survey data shows a surprising confluence of values between students in both countries, and data reveals some grounds for building mutual understanding and projects. Also common fears are found amongst students. 

            It is suggested that the BRICS Network university can provide a fruitful point of dialogue and to build mutual understanding between our countries.
