Subject:

The international seminar “CHINA, BRAZIL AND LATIN AMERICA IN THE POST-PANDEMIC CONTEXT OF COVID-19” aims to reflect on the new directions of the global situation in the post-pandemic context, marked by the need to rebuild the world economy by increasing competition between the great powers, the challenges of international cooperation and the reconstruction of global governance. In this sense, China’s role becomes relevant, not only because it is an important engine of international trade, an important source of direct investments, and for the active role in cooperating with global efforts to combat the pandemic. Latin America, in general, and Brazil, in particular, are in the midst of disputes between the United States and China and need to organize an own strategy that is in line with the region’s interests in boosting their economies and obtaining a more significant political space on the international stage.
