The article refers to the recent unequal relationship between the United States, Brazil, and Venezuela, in the light of the concept of Center and Periphery. In it, Washington is the center, while Brasília and Caracas would dispute space on the periphery of the system, which historically delineates an imperfect relationship of powers. Due to the diminished influence of the White House in recent years, there was the possibility of greater autonomy for Planalto and Miraflores in their regional and even global movements. However, this was not sustained for long, due to internal political and economic problems in both countries. It should also be added that the search for autonomy did not mean a break with the United States, despite the rhetoric sometimes ignited as in the case of Venezuela. The relationship is pendulous as we could see the close rapport between Donald John Trump and Michel Miguel Elias Temer and then Jair Messias Bolsonaro. With the replacement of Trump by Joe Biden, a new triangular conformation is awaited. |
