Throughout 2016, CEBRI's Asia Program focused its activities on examining the main geoeconomic and geopolitical transformations in East Asian countries, alongside their impacts on and opportunities for Brazil. The article "East Asian Geopolitics: New Geometries of Competition and Cooperation" by Adriana Abdenur is mandatory reading for those seeking to understand the dynamics of the region and the possible scenarios that should be taken into consideration, by both public and private actors, in the design of projects and policies aimed at expanding the Brazilian presence in the region.
