The political crisis in Venezuela is one of the most important regional developments for Brazil in 2016, along with its own domestic crisis and the presidency of macri in Argentina. michel Temer's new government has showed a willingness to undertake changes in the foreign policy of Brazil. The Venezuelan crisis is a crucial variable to analyse the political realignments after years of gradual progress in south American regional integration. The position taken against maduro's government symbolises a swerve towards uncertainty in mercosur and happens in the context of external pressure to sign inter-regional economic agreements. Unfortunately, the fragility of democracy is not an exclusive feature of Venezuela in south America, but a recurrent regional phenomenon. This intense political dispute has roots in the different economic models proposed for the region. in the 2000s Brazil reached a stable development path, called the Logistic state, which combines elements from neoliberalism and social developmentalism. Currently, the country needs to revitalise Mercosur and persuade the South American leaders on the benefits of regionalism over unrestrained globalisation. however, it is probable that the regional crisis will continue for the coming years. Thus, Brazil may progressively lose the position of regional leader and interlocutor with the outside world; and a disordered process of globalisation may permeate south America.

A Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), também chamada de Nova Rota da Seda, representa uma importante etapa do projeto chinês de globalização e possui, portanto, evidentes implicações para os alinhamentos político-estratégicos globais e regionais. Assim, ao mesmo tempo em que produz oportunidades, também faz ascenderem contradições e rivalidades. Diante desse quadro, pretendemos analisar como a Nova Rota da Seda, em especial sua dimensão marítima no Oceano Índico, conformando o chamado colar de pérolas, afeta o padrão de relacionamento sino-indiano. Visando abordar essa complexa temática, o artigo está estruturado em três etapas. Na primeira seção, exporemos breve recapitulação das distintas dimensões de implementação da BRI. Na segunda parte, abordaremos os principais desafios concernentes à conformação do colar de pérolas. Por fim, analisaremos como o conjunto desses fatores impactam as relações sino-indianas.Palavras-chave: China; Nova Rota da Seda; Colar de pérolas.ABSTRACTThe Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), also called the New Silk Road, represents an important stage of the Chinese globalization project and therefore has clear implications for global and regional political-strategic alignments. Thus, while producing opportunities, it also raises contradictions and rivalries. In this scenario, we intend to analyze how the New Silk Road, especially its maritime dimension in the Indian Ocean, forming the so-called string of pearls, affects the Sino-Indian relationship pattern. The article is structured in three stages. In the first section, we will present a brief summary of the different dimensions of the Belt and Road Initiative. In the second part, we will discuss the main challenges concerning the string of pearls. Finally, we will analyze how these factors impact Sino-Indian relations.Keywords: China; New Silk Road; String of pearls. Recebido em 30 abr. 2020 | Aceito em 19 out. 2020.
