India at the crossroads

The recent article by Estadão “China, India and the New World Order”, sets the tone for these reflections of mine: the call states that “the competition between a powerful China, but in population decline and an India on the rise but with serious delays to overcome, impact the economic and geopolitical order.”. thought provoking, sim, but obvious?...It is comforting to have lived a long time to be able to calmly reflect on the impermanence and transience of world power.. When I was born, in June 1945, the planetary “hegemon” was... Great Britain (“the sun never sets on the British Empire”, even in Africa?)! But at that very moment Europe, torn apart by World War II, reluctantly began the deconstruction of the colonial empire that had made its fortune throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. At...

On the Constitution of India

In day 26 Last January, India celebrated “Republic Day”/ “Repubic Day”, date on which its Constitution entered into force, in 26 January 1950, replacing “The Government of India Act”/ “The Government of India Act 1935”, which had been enacted by the British Raj as the foundation document of State.

And the ship goes… o BRICS

The article entitled “Brics in a New Stage” deserves careful reflection., by Ambassador Rubens Barbosa, Presidents of China 17/07, in which he analyzes the 14th BRICS summit, realized in 23/ 24 of June, no virtual format, under the turn presidency of China. the theme of the meeting - “Promoting a High Quality Partnership and Ushering in a New Era for Global Development” - deals with the group's next actions at this particularly complex moment in which one of its members, hindering the respect for otherness so necessary for the coexistence between nations, promotes a war against Ukraine, that has, in its turn, as a background, the threat that Moscow understands to suffer from the West against the “status quo” of the region that was part of the Soviet “empire”. As pointed out by Ambassador, “the meeting sought to increase the partnership between the group and the...

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

member countries (dark blue) and observers (Light Blue) of the Non-Aligned Movement (2005). 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). These blocks formed an international structure known as bipolar, insofar as the blocks were antagonistic. 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. These trends ended up consolidating a group known as the Non-Aligned Movement. It is important to note that it was not the creation of a third pole and not necessarily the refusal of the former..

BRICS and the Covid-19 vaccine, one more chance missed

REUTERS FILE PHOTO Vaccination for Covid-19 is advancing and the world begins to breathe a sigh of relief, but it hides a much harsher and more unequal reality in the world we live in. Access to vaccines, as well as its production, it is the result of power relations that only reinforce the inequality that exists between countries.. Once the size of the problem with Covid-19 became clear, the richest countries started their efforts to produce vaccines and to purchase or block in advance the vaccines to be produced. To get an idea, by the end of 2020 these countries had already guaranteed 3,8 billions of doses. The amount purchased by countries like the United States and European countries far exceeded their population. only the USA, for example, bought vaccines that surpassed 5 doses per....

The management of these challenges begins to reveal the new directions of the American foreign policy. Coping with the multiple issues surrounding the US / China relationship is challenged by the incredible complexity of the issues, in addition to the lack of consensus in the government and the Democratic Party on what should be the focus of the US relationship with the Asian giant. There is a majority that defends the end of permanent political confrontation and the effort to disassociate economies (decoupling, in English term), position held by powerful economic groups that maintain huge interests in China. At the same time, many members of the Dem party ...

Map with the region of Punjab, bordering Pakistan. I treated in the article "India in commotion" of the conflict that the three laws enacted by the Indian government in September of last year regulating the process of commercialization of cereals have been unleashing in the agricultural community of India, especially in the Punjab region. As outgoing, they modify the traditional process of commercialization of cereals that used to be carried out through a council created by the state governments., which theoretically guaranteed protection to farmers from exploitation by retailers. The law that regulated this system - "Essential Commodities Act, 1955” - on the 1955.
