Western values have been expanded to Asia. However, this Western expansion leads to a problem when we look at the concept of West. The expansion of the West to the Indic & Pacific Oceans, whereas it formerly comprised just the North Atlantic region, demands that we create a new concept with the analytical capacity to capture this enlarged Western world. As a matter of fact, Barack Obama speaks about a "Global System of Democracies." This democratic global system is a new political West, that goes well beyond the old West, geographically confined to the North Atlantic. Adapted from the source document.

A maioria dos países integrantes do Fórum das Ilhas do Pacífico(1) foi colônia ou protetorado britânico. Essa condição resultou na transposição de leis britânicas relativas à saúde pública que necessitam de revisão e reforma. Estes países também contam com uma rica tradição de direito consuetudinário e métodos de organização social anteriores à experiência colonial(2). Acrescente-se a esse ambiente legal pluralista, o fato de que todos os países do Pacífico ratificaram tratados de direitos humanos internacionais ou tratados que criam obrigações no direito internacional em relação à saúde. ; Most Pacific Island countries which are members of the Pacific Islands Forum have a history as British colonies or protectorates. This delivers a legacy of transplanted British style public health laws from the first half of the twentieth century, which are out of date and in need of review and reform. Pacific Island countries also have a rich tradition of customary laws and methods of social organisation predating their colonial experience. Added to this pluralist legal environment, all Pacific countries have ratified some international human rights treaties or treaties creating obligations at international law in relation to health.

Since the promulgation of Cotonou Agreements between the European Union and the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific Countries (ACP) the application of the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA) has been deeply controversial. Analysts and organizations questioned the accords on spirit and letter, considering them potentially damaging to the process of sustainable development of the ACP. This article identifies and analyses the problems that became apparent during the agreements negotiations, taking into account the arguments raised by all parties concerned.

During World War II Portuguese neutrality was put in jeopardy when the overseas territory of Timor was occupied by Allied Forces &, subsequently, invaded by Japan. Several efforts were engaged to counter such actions, but the needs of the war dragged the island into the hostilities, putting to the test the foreign policy of the Portuguese Government. This article seeks to place the case of Timor in the wider scope of the Pacific War & to examine the role of diplomacy in the 1945' restitution of Portuguese sovereignty to the territory.

The present paper begins by presenting the factors that facilitated the centrality of the United States during the Cold war and the influence of globalization on those factors, with an emphasis on the key role of the economic, financial and strategic relations between the US and the Asia-Pacific as the basis of globalization. In the light of the 2008 international financial crisis, the paper carries out an analysis of the internal factors that might favour China's action in that area and, lastly, the intermediate and operational goals should China wish, in the future, to challenge the US' role as the "Middle Empire".

Russia-China relations have been marked by areas of cooperation built on shared approaches in fundamental foreign policy topics, as well as by some elements of continuity in projects of national consolidation. However, this has not been a relationship without constraints, especially regarding incompatible goals. This article analyses the relations between Russia and China in an internationally changed framework, where the Asia-Pacific region has been gaining growing relevance. Political, economic and security relations are object of analysis, with the aim of understanding the main issues in the agenda and the dynamics that these have generated regarding the bilateral relationship, which is increasingly understood as asymmetrical. Adapted from the source document.

China's emergence as a superpower is inevitable, given its growing economic might. Military, diplomatic & economic conflicts with the US are unavoidable. To meet the challenge, the US should strengthen its regional balance of power in the Far East, while avoiding military adventures in the region. In order to manage the risks that are attendant to China's rise, the US should adopt a Bismarckian strategy. Such a strategy would require containing China by focusing on maintaining & strengthening the US military presence in the Pacific. The best outcome for this strategy, from the US perspective, would be to create a new Cold War, but one without hot military flashpoints. US allies in the region would act in the same manner as NATO when it helped to contain the USSR, leading to the USSR's collapse from its own internal contradictions. Because China also suffers from economic & political contradictions, its ascent can therefore be contained. References. R. Young

The concept of the other (autrui) did not receive due attention in Deleuze's philosophy as a whole until recently (VENTURA, 2020; FERREIRA, 2021). The Other appears in Deleuze's work in some moments of Difference and Repetition, in What is philosophy? – a work written together with Félix Guattari – but, above all, in a text present in the appendix of Logic of Sense entitled "Michel Tournier and the world without others", in which he comments the M. Tounier's novel, Friday or the pacific limbo. The Other is nothing but the expression of a possible world, or even a structure that organizes perception and ensures the margins and transitions of the world. When this structure dissolves, the simulacra ascend to the surfaces, destroying the forms and releasing the forces and intensities. We believe that the agent of this dissolution is Friday, whose coming disrupts the order forged by Robinson on his island. Friday no longer functions as the structure-other, since it is another of the Other, which will allow access to an impersonal, pre-individual transcendental field, populated by free singularities. Emmanuel Lévinas's concepts of "face" and "wholly other" (tout autre) will help in this movement in order to understand Deleuze's other, although it is necessary to point out its pertinence and its limitations.
