Relações Brasil-China : caminhos para a projeção global brasileira.

Abstract

The Sino-Brazilian relations, which celebrate 50 years in 2024, are essential for Brazil's international projection, especially in a context of hegemonic transition in the global system. This article will analyze how Brazilian foreign policy can become a pivot in the international system, using its relationship with China to expand its global and regional influence, as well as strengthen its economic and diplomatic position. The main objective is to answer whether Brazilian diplomacy, by leveraging this relationship, can assume leadership among developing countries. The Critical Theory of International Relations will guide this study, enabling a disruptive analysis of the power dynamics in the current system, the hegemony of the U.S., and China's rise. The methodology will focus on analyzing the last two decades of these relations, identifying key points and how they can influence the present and future of Brazilian foreign diplomacy.
