Crise e governança do sistema multilateral de comércio

The document analyzes the main issues that guide the debate on the crisis of multilateralism. Possible scenarios for the global trade governance system are pointed out, based on considerations about the role of Brazil and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The multilateral system must advance and not be paralyzed by the clash between China and the United States, which goes beyond the scope of the WTO and might endure in a horizon full of uncertainties. Moreover, the European Union and the main Latin and Asian economies can lead this process”, points out Lia Valls Pereira.

Only available in Portuguese.
