936) International Leadership in a Shrinking World: um projeto da Stanley Foundation

O projeto abaixo descrito, do qual participei como analista pelo Brasil, tem a a ver com as novas configurações da política mundial. Ele foi concebido pela Stanley Foundation, que agora divulga os papers principais (nem todos eles se encontram disponíveis, apenas os que linkei -- ugh! --, como abaixo).
Eles insistem em me chamar de Paolo, talvez pensem que somos todos italianos por estas bandas. (O link que fizeram em meu nome, refere-se, na verdade, ao livro sobre o brasilianismo americano, que editei com meu amigo Marshall Eakin pela Wisconsin Press).

Powers and Principles: International Leadership in a Shrinking World
Neste link.

The aim of the Stanley Foundation’s project on Powers and Principles: International Leadership in a Shrinking World is to identify plausible actions and trends for the next ten years by which the international community could become more unified. The foundation asked contributing authors to describe the paths by which nine powerful nations, a regional union of 27 states, and a multinational corporation could all emerge as constructive stakeholders in a strengthened rules-based international order. For each case, the writers discuss how their given country might deal with the internal and external challenges posed by international norms for the global economy, domestic governance and society, and global and regional security.

Project participants are listed below, with their subject focus, in the order in which their essays will be published. To provide a perspective from inside, and a counterweight, a commentator from the country (or other actor) has been enlisted to give a reaction to the coauthors’ essay. Author affiliations are for identification only, and views expressed in the essays and comments are personal and not on behalf of the institutions for which they work.
