Resumo: | Despite of the central role the Internet plays in cyberspace-related matters, it was only when Edward Snowden brought light to American-led digital espionage programs that Internet governance and cybersecurity agendas definitely converged. The Snowden Affairs increased the entropy within the broader Internet ecosystem and reignited political tensions that revolve around the US prominence within the narrower arena of critical Internet resources management. In this context, many countries have shown great concern regarding the governance of the Internet, and Brazil has gained a prominent role in the debate. This paper (a) summarizes the concerns arisen from Snowden's leaks and their general impacts over the Internet governance ecosystem; (b) tracks the policy actions undertaken by Brazil in the issue-area of Internet governance both before and after Snowden; and (c) details how Brazil seized the Snowden Affair as an opportunity to promote its broader political agenda internationally, fostering a more democratic and pluralistic Internet governance worldwide. In the end, the paper reflects upon the prospects for change in global Internet governance after the US government announced its intention to relinquish its privileged position vis-a-vis critical Internet resources. |

Apesar do papel central da Internet para a compreensão atual do ciberespaço, as agendas de governança da Internet e de cibersegurança apenas convergiram a partir das revelações de Edward Snowden sobre os programas de espionagem digital dos Estados Unidos. O Caso Snowden aumentou a entropia do complexo ecossistema da Internet, e reacendeu tensões a respeito da proeminência americana na administração dos recursos críticos da Rede. Nesse contexto, muitos países demonstraram preocupações sobre o futuro da governança da Internet, e o Brasil ganhou destaque no debate. Este artigo (a) resume as preocupações oriundas do Caso Snowden e seus impactos gerais sobre o ecossistema de governança da Internet; (b) analisa as medidas políticas tomadas pelo Brasil no campo em questão, antes e depois dos vazamentos de Snowden; e (c) detalha como o Brasil utilizou o Caso para promover sua agenda política para governança da Rede internacionalmente, fomentando a adoção de um complexo de governança mais pluralístico e democrático. Ao fim, o texto reflete sobre as possibilidades de mudança no ecossistema de governança global da Internet após o anúncio da intenção estadunidense de renunciar seus privilégios na supervisão do funcionamento de recursos críticos da Rede.
