The China-US trade war.

Abstract

The advent of a “trade war” between the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China has turned the international economy into a field of battle. Given the globalization of markets and the economic interdependence it generated, no country is immune to the side effects borne out of this clash of giants. What do we mean by “trade war”? What is the place of Brazil, which, on the one hand, has recently shifted its geopolitical position towards the US, but on the other has a strong economic relationship with China? These are some of the questions to be debated in this 10th edition of the International Forum of Ideas, held in June 7 2019.
