It argues that the recent combined dilemmas of security and defense, obstacles to peace, and economic-trade coordination between nations represent a new phase for the Group. Paradoxically, in addition to restrictions on more cooperative action, the new context also represents opportunities for renewed Brazilian action in the G20 amid the current reconfiguration of international relations.

In the 1960s, Deng Xiaoping said his most iconic quote: “if a cat catches mice, it doesn’t matter whether it is black or white.”
The phrase was proclaimed in defense of increased productivity, even at the expense of the socialization of the economy.
Later, this analogy was widely used to endorse the modernization reforms adopted in the late 1970s. In the 21st century, the
People’s Republic of China has risen as one of the main centers of the world economy. This result is attributed to the process
of opening and modernization, which promoted China’s integration into the world economy. The role of the State in planning
and implementing policies that seek to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) is central to this process. We aim to present
an analysis of FDI development in China based on planning and development, identifying different cycles according to the
political context and Chinese development challenges.

Research paper thumbnail of EL PAPEL DE LAS PETROLERAS ESTATALES EN LA TRANSICIÓN ENERGÉTICA DE AMÉRICA LATINA: LOS CASOS DE PETROBRAS, YPF, ECOPETROL Y PEMEX

América Latina tiene un gran potencial para sustituir los combustibles fósiles por energías renovables y cuenta con importantes reservas de minerales críticos, como el litio. Sin embargo, hay varios obstáculos que superar. Entre ellos, la falta de recursos financieros para invertir en la descarbonización, el bajo crecimiento económico y las políticas de austeridad fiscal ante el coste de la transición. En este contexto de transformación de la industria energética, las empresas petroleras estatales desempeñan un papel crucial, ya que disponen tanto de capacidad productiva como financiera. Estas empresas se enfrentan al reto de conciliar la producción de petróleo y gas (P&G) para garantizar el abastecimiento interno y el potencial exportador con las decisiones de inversión en energías limpias para sustituir gradualmente a los combustibles fósiles. La mayoría de los países de la región no disponen de estrategias a medio o largo plazo para afrontar estos retos. Mientras las petroleras transnacionales del Norte global, en particular las europeas, han buscado reconfigurarse como “empresas energéticas” e invertir en fuentes renovables, las principales empresas estatales latinoamericanas – entre ellas Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex), Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales (YPF) y Empresa Colombiana de Petróleos S.A. (Ecopetrol), analizadas en este artículo – han seguido múltiples caminos en la transición hacia una economía baja en carbono. La estrategia de cada empresa se ha visto influida por factores como la existencia de reservas, la historia del uso de la energía y las diferentes políticas gubernamentales. En este contexto, se puede concluir que las empresas petroleras son actores clave en la transición energética de América Latina, ya que son capaces de utilizar su peso económico para impulsar las transformaciones económicas necesarias en este proceso y maximizar el uso de los abundantes recursos renovables de la region.

to attract investments from the developed capitalist world, aiming for technological transfer
and offering a profitable environment in exchange. Although the TNC capital, know-how,
and technology have been key factors for Chinese development, the State has planned and
regulated those investments, so they can be aligned with an autonomous project of development,
avoiding the classic centre-periphery dependency relationship. This paper analysis focuses
on the Five-Year Plans, and the regulation policy laws for inward investment. At the
end we analyse the FDI data, which allowed us to identify the main changes and distinct
phases of the development of FDI and the State policy.

These are divided into three perspectives: geopolitical considerations, economic interests, and racial identity. Geopolitical motivations aimed at gaining greater independence from Western powers, and economic interests, aiming to expand the trade flow and identify investment opportunities are similar. What is entirely different is the relationship with the racial issue in Brazil itself, which has became an important component in policy-making for Africa during the Lula government.

Is the US in decadence? How to characterize the relationship between center and periphery in the 21st century? Is it still valid to speak of a Western imperialism? Does the Biden administration change in form and/or in substance US capitalism? What are the pillars of global power? How should we analyze China's role in the world and its relationship with peripheral countries? What is the role of other smaller powers, such as the European Union, India, and Brazil, in the face of the US-China dispute? It is evident that the debate around these themes involves a simultaneous deepening of geopolitical and political economy’s factors.

Research paper thumbnail of The Brazilian Particularity: Pre-salt in the Energy Transition

Conjuntura Global, 2022

This paper aims to analyze the challenges imposed by exploring Brazil´s deep-water oil reserves (... more This paper aims to analyze the challenges imposed by exploring Brazil´s deep-water oil reserves (pré-salt) since 2007 and Petrobras's role in the global energy transition context. A qualitative methodology is used, which includes a bibliographic review, collection of statistical data, and systematic analysis of the characteristics of the Brazilian energy sector. We argue that the challenge for Brazil is to balance the economic gains of the pre-salt with policies to support national development and, at the same time, encourage the use of other energy sources. We argue that depending on the national policies implemented, pre-salt might not necessarily conflict with the aims of an energy transition. However, if a clear strategy is not implemented to take advantage of such resources, oil revenues might be only appropriated by short-term private financial interests. Petrobras play a key role in this process.

policies implemented for the oil exploitation in Brazil since its origins with
emphasis on the constitution and trajectory of Petrobras. Different visions
and arguments during the period will be presented around the main topics: the role of the government, the state company, the multinationals, and
the private national oil companies. This reflects the various development
concepts that disputed political hegemony during the period analysed.
Basically, the article structures the debate around Bielschowsky´s (2011)
classification: state-nationalism, private-nationalism and liberalism. The
policies that were implemented reflected the political force to articulate
concrete interests around these approaches. In this way the article the article presents the surge and consolidation of national-developmentalism
during the 1950tees till the 1980tees, followed by a (neo)liberal period
until the elections of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) which coincided with the discovery of expressive deep sea oil reserve (pre-salt). In this
period there was a swing back to a developmentalist approach.

No Brasil, essa política ganhou força nos governos Lula da Silva, mas começou a sofrer desgaste nos governos de Dilma Rousseff. A tentativa de repactuar aspectos dessa política em 2015 chegou tarde e, no governo Temer, sofreu um rebaixamento considerável. O objetivo deste artigo é entender a facilidade política e a rapidez com as quais o processo se deu, a partir de dois fatores. Primeiro, a tempestade perfeita que atingiu a Petrobras em meados de 2014 e em 2015, com uma forte queda de preço do petróleo e os impactos da Operação Lava Jato e outros fatores. Segundo, o desgaste ao qual a política de Conteúdo Local foi submetida, identificada como parte do problema, e não da solução, para o desenvolvimento brasileiro. A partir de uma análise das medidas governamentais e do posicionamento dos atores relevantes, percebe-se que a política de Conteúdo Local foi sacrificada n...

The region ceased to be the United States of America’s (US) “backyard” and has now become part of that country's economic, commercial, and political dispute with China.Unlike most literature on the issue, this article will use a holistic approach to combine the political and economic dimensions as well as the interaction between Chinese push and LAC pull factors. At the same time, we will focus attention on the geopolitical context, specifically the rivalry between China and the US.

A persistência da pandemia da Covid-19 em 2021, com o surgimento de novas variantes e as insuficiências no esforço de vacinação, colocou às nações o desafio de como se recuperar economicamente frente a um cenário ainda repleto de restrições e incertezas. Essa realidade conjuntural se insere em um mundo em transformação estrutural em torno de dois fenômenos: a busca de respostas às crescentes crises climáticas e a afirmação da quarta revolução industrial-tecnológica, que provocou um acirramento da concorrência oligopolista e, ao mesmo tempo, uma retomada da rivalidade interestatal.

Política externa brasileira em um mundo em transformação: o governo Bolsonaro

Gilberto Maringoni, Giorgio Romano e Tatiana Berringer

Este livro se propõe a examinar a política externa do governo de Jair Bolsonaro. Nossa análise não se limita à diplomacia – tarefa sob responsabilidade do Itamaraty - mas é um conjunto de interpretações sobre a inserção internacional do Estado a partir de diversas esferas: economia, defesa, soberania e recursos naturais estratégicos, além de órgãos da administração federal que mantêm contatos internacionais. Em suma, tentamos entender que lugar no mundo o Brasil de Bolsonaro procura ocupar.
