Some More Accessible Than Others

Post by 66chandona »

Unlike the first decade of the 21st century, the diffusion and fluidity of power on an international scale has been reduced, especially in the last five years. This makes it more difficult, costly and hesitant for the countries of the global South to enter the circle of actors who have the greatest capacity to influence world affairs. This situation limits the chances of an inclusive multipolarism. Faced with this volatile, precarious and ambiguous scenario, Brazil may follow different paths depending on the dominant orientations of its foreign policy.

Currently, the conditions are given to choose lines of action that imply adding the country as a player of medium-sized power to "games" that have already begun and that have a set of "cards" placed on special data table. The starting point of this election is to recognize the differences that arise in the present when the idea of ​​multipolarity that prevailed two decades ago is evoked. The questioning of the international liberal order could generate pressure and friction, but it did not offer major risks of collision. But at present, An alternative would be the adoption of a positive and functional role that identifies ways to contribute to stopping the crisis and the decline of the international liberal order, which would lead Brazil to a "westerns" option. It is important to clarify that this preference translates more in the direction of greater closeness and not an automatic following of the West.
