O que é este blog?

Este blog trata basicamente de ideias, se possível inteligentes, para pessoas inteligentes. Ele também se ocupa de ideias aplicadas à política, em especial à política econômica. Ele constitui uma tentativa de manter um pensamento crítico e independente sobre livros, sobre questões culturais em geral, focando numa discussão bem informada sobre temas de relações internacionais e de política externa do Brasil.

Minha proposta:

A New International Economic Order again? A contrarian view from a practitioner from the Global South 

 

Paulo Roberto de Almeida; Abstract of a paper submission:

The New International Economic Order. Lessons and Legacies 50 Years Later; Conference at the University of Venice, May 10-11, 2024

Abstract

Brazil was a leading country, with some other nations in the developing world, in the debate, from the 1970s to the 80s, about a NIEO, at least since the reform of the Gatt, in 1964, and the inauguration of UNCTAD conferences. Its diplomatic staff was actively engaged, with other important Third World countries representatives, in the presentation of proposals aiming to a NIEO, specially in drafting economic agreements for its commodity exports (mainly coffee, cocoa, sugar and some others), as well as a strong supporter of the principle of special and differential treatment for developing countries at all multilateral economic organizations. 

The purpose of my paper, as a diplomat engaged in the practice and teaching about international economic relations since the late 70s, is to present a contrarian view about the efforts of those countries to reform economic institutions, treaties and practices at that level and context, then and even now, after a third wave of globalization in the 90s and early 2000s, and a “fragmented deglobalization” since the economic ascent of China and a partial retraction of developed countries into neo-protectionism and new fashions in industrial and other sectorial policies. The aim is to challenge the very concept of a NIEO, as an ideal proposal constructed by diplomats and policy makers, to offer an assessment of the differing paths assumed by some (not all) developing countries, during the high times of neoliberal thinking and thereafter, on the basis of actual results, and to collect some learnings from that era and nowadays.
