Reforma also HIM: between the need for modernization and the search for hegemony

The United Nations (HIM-HER-IT), created in the aftermath of World War II, has been a milestone in international cooperation and the search for global peace and security.

Reform is necessary not only to make the organization more representative and effective, but also to ensure it can tackle complex contemporary issues, from regional conflicts to climate change. However, the path to reform is undermined by geopolitical interests, where proposals from countries like the United States and ...

Information security and the new geopolitics of cyberspace: challenges and opportunities for Brazil

In the contemporary global scenario, cyberspace has emerged as a domain of critical importance, shaping not only interpersonal relationships but, crucially, geopolitical and geoeconomic interactions. A segurança da informação, uma vez relegada aos bastidores técnicos, hoje ocupa o centro do palco nas discussões sobre soberania nacional, desenvolvimento econômico e diplomacia. A necessidade de uma governança global para o ciberespaço é, therefore, um imperativo que não pode mais ser ignorado, sobretudo pelo Brasil, um ator crescente no tabuleiro internacional. A transformação digital global não conhece fronteiras; os dados cruzam continentes em milissegundos. In this context, incidentes de segurança cibernética têm potencial para causar disrupções em larga escala, afetando desde infr...

Border crisis: Brazil's role in resolving the conflict between Guyana and Venezuela

The South American region has faced a series of geopolitical challenges that threaten not only the internal stability of the countries, but also harmony between neighboring nations. One of the most significant examples is the growing tension between Guyana and Venezuela, a conflict that not only raises regional concerns, but it also places Brazil in a position where its actions are fundamental to promoting peace and stability in the region. The root of the conflict between Guyana and Venezuela dates back to the 19th century, but it has gained new dimensions in recent years due to the discovery of large oil reserves in the disputed Essequibo region. A Venezuela, facing a deep economic and political crisis, has reaffirmed its territorial claims, increasing tension in the area. Em...
