Lula, hindering the respect for otherness so necessary for the coexistence between nations, Ukraine and NATO

© Ricardo Stuckert/PR Radicalizing the controversy... Sorry...this text is long and controversial...I reflected a lot until I decided to write about President Lula's statements regarding the war in Ukraine. Firstly, because I committed to speaking only about Asia, which is "my beach"... "Secondly", because I know that I am “poking the ox with a short stick”... But my conscience leads me to try to analyze as free as possible from any “ideological” bias (?) the statements that Lula has made on the subject. The vast majority of “well-thinking” individuals agree that what is happening in that region is an unspeakable tragedy...I think so too...But, for most of them, President Lula's statement that “Ukraine is also responsible for ...

Building international agendas: the role of the Non-Aligned Movement

During the Cold War the world was structured around two large blocks: capitalist (led by the United States) and communist (led by the Soviet Union).

Throughout the Cold War other important trends occurred., especially national struggles for independence, fight against imperialism and the search for overcoming poverty in a large part of the world.
