The end of the Cold War liberated China & the European Union from the constraints of the bipolar competition & created the conditions for the strategic convergence of the two sides, which was consolidated by China's external openness & internal reforms. This trend is codified in numerous documents offering an official evaluation of the importance of bilateral relations between the European Union & China. None the less there still are many conflicts & divergences which demand a closer reciprocal understanding. The European Union should be more tolerant with the pace of political reforms in China & understand better the great importance of the Taiwan issue, & China should recognize the complexity of European foreign policy & understand the European concerns over Eastern Asia's strategic stability.

Inicialmente, comparam-se as caracteristicas monetarias atuais do processo inflacionario brasileiro com aquelas tanto dos casos classicos de hiperinflacao europeia, do inicio dos anos 20, como da quase-hiperinflacao por que passou Taiwan, entre 1945 e 1949, esta ultima devido, sobretudo, as suas semelhancas com o caso do Brasil. Em seguida testa-se o modelo hiperinflacionario da demanda por moeda de Cagan com dados mensais do Brasil a partir de 1980, considerando distintos periodos. O teste, que consiste essencialmente em verificar se ha co-integracao entre as variaveis encaixes monetarios reais e a taxa de inflacao, mostrou que o modelo nao pode ser rejeitado em muitos periodos analisados.
