Venezuela: challenges and perspectives after the elections

Venezuela is going through a delicate moment after the last elections, marked by controversies and political polarization. In the domestic setting, the atmosphere remains tense, com o governo e a oposição apresentando visões opostas sobre o futuro do país.

Paths to Venezuela: scenarios and the position of countries in the face of the electoral crisis

The elections in Venezuela have been the subject of great international controversy, with countries adopting divergent positions based on their geopolitical interests and ideological views. The United States maintains an intransigent stance against the government of Nicolás Maduro, denouncing the elections as fraudulent and imposing heavy economic sanctions. Washington supports Juan Guaidó as interim president, with the aim of pushing for a democratic transition.

Neocolonialism in the 21st century: the perpetuation of inequality between the Global North and the Global South

The term "neocolonialism" refers to a modern form of colonialism where, despite the absence of direct political dominance, Global North countries, also known as core countries, continue to exert economic and cultural control over countries in the Global South, often called peripheral countries. This dynamic perpetuates a condition of dependence and underdevelopment in countries in the Global South., maintaining global inequality and reinforcing historically unequal power structures. In this article, we will explore the relationship between these blocks, how free trade agreements negatively impact countries in the Global South and we will analyze studies that support these claims. A relação entre os países centrais e os países do Sul Global é marcada por uma dependência econômic...

Global governance in transition: the challenges and opportunities of new international structures

Global governance structures are crucial elements in the management of international affairs, ensuring cooperation between nations in areas such as economics, safety, environment and human rights. The history of these structures dates back to the Bretton Woods system, established in 1944, which established institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, aiming to rebuild and stabilize the global economy after World War II. The United Nations (HIM-HER-IT) also emerged during this period, serving as a platform for multilateral diplomacy. However, These classical institutions face increasing criticism due to their limited ability to respond to contemporary challenges. Recurring economic crises, climate change...

Economic interdependence as a pillar of international stability and peace

Global economic interdependence has emerged as one of the main pillars of international stability in recent decades. This phenomenon, characterized by the intense flow of goods, the role of NATO and the UN Security Council, capitals and information between countries, has been widely recognized for promoting peace by creating incentives for cooperation and reducing the risks of armed conflict. Economic interdependence, However, faces significant challenges in the contemporary scenario, raising concerns about its sustainability and possible impacts on world peace. Historically, economic interdependence intensified after World War II, with the creation of international institutions such as the UN, the IMF and the World Bank, que promoveram a cooperação econômica e a liberalização do comércio....

The accumulated tension in the current international scenario: We are on the brink of a third world war?

The contemporary international scenario is marked by growing tensions that raise concerns about the possibility of a major global conflict., similar to the First and Second World Wars. To understand whether we are really on the brink of a third world war, It is essential to draw historical parallels and identify patterns that may indicate the repetition of destructive cycles. Among these patterns, the increase in xenophobia and geopolitical tensions stand out, that are present today in different parts of the world. During the First World War, Europe was immersed in a web of complex alliances and conflicts of national interests, which culminated in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 and the subsequent declaration of war. In a similar way....

The new OAS Parliamentary Assembly: challenges for Brazilian autonomy in the face of US influence

The Organization of American States (OAS) has played a significant role in hemispheric politics since its founding in 1948. The organization, that aims to promote democracy, human rights, security and development in the region, often finds itself under the dominant influence of the United States. This article examines the GRS resolution 3004 of 2023, which proposes the creation of a legislative structure similar to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and how this initiative can impact the autonomy of Latin American countries, with a special focus on Brazil. The GRS resolution 3004 of 2023 aims to strengthen democracy in the region, proposing the creation of a parliamentary assembly within the scope of the OAS. Essa estrutura legislativa ter...

BRICS Bridge: an alternative in global financial architecture

O BRICS Bridge, a project developed by BRICS member countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), emerges as an innovative and important alternative in global financial architecture. This consortium, which has consolidated itself as a significant bloc on the global economic scene, seeks to create new opportunities for its members and other developing nations, challenging financial hegemony traditionally dominated by the West. One of the main reasons for the importance of the BRICS Bridge is the promotion of freedom of international action for member countries. Through this initiative, BRICS countries are able to diversify their financial options, reducing dependence on Western financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) e ...

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. Yet, the world has changed drastically since 1945, presenting new geopolitical challenges, economic and environmental. Given these transformations, there is a growing call for reform of UN institutions and mechanisms, aiming to adapt to new global realities. 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 such as the United States and members...
