520 |a tOver the last decade, emerging economic powers have become increasingly influential actors in theformerly closed circle of donor countries. In the frame of south–south cooperation initiatives, largeeconomies in the global south are working with less advanced developing countries. While a signifi-cant literature on China’s role regarding mining and oil and gas exploration in Africa has developed, ananalysis of the new dynamics of South–South cooperation and its effect on the political economy andsustainability of rural development and energy diversification in African countries is largely absent. Asan effort to start filling this gap, we analyze the opportunities and frictions introduced by Brazilian actorsin the biofuel sector in a set of sub-Saharan African countries. By assessing the political, technical and economic dimensions present in Brazil’s south–south cooperation strategy for this region, we find thatthe arrival of Brazilian biofuel actors to Africa is leading to deep asymmetries between powerful and lesspreeminent actors, undermining the overall sustainability of the offered development model.
