Abstract

The centers of global power are shifting at an unexpected pace. Hegemonies perceived as immutable are giving way to new poles of production and consumption. By 2025, the relative decline in the renewal capacities of the United States and Europe coincides with the return of the world's economic engine to Asia. ASEAN stands out in this new reality as an ambitious innovation platform and an important consumer market. In a scenario of geoeconomic transformations, marked by the unpredictability of the political and commercial actions of traditional hegemonies, Brazil has much to gain by investing in deepening its rapprochement with Southeast Asia.
