General Discussion

14h00 – 19h00 – Session 7
Power Relations, Institutional Constraints, Regional Integration and Development

China’s development model, with its singular modalities ofdecision making, long term planning, investment and financing opened new perspectives on how we conceive growth and industrial competitiveness and called for a reflection on Brazil’s international insertion in the global economy, as well and its regional and international production relations.

The Chinese economy proved resilient in the financial crisis but internal imbalances, growing inequality and loopholes in the institutional framework guiding economic relations brought about by 30 years of consistent expansion were also made more evident. The current 12 year Plan proposes an important reorientation of the economy in an international context of slow growth, increasing real and potential conflict in China-US relations with implications for regional economic relations in the Pacific. There is a growing consensus amongst economic and governmental circles in China that the reform era inaugurated by Deng Xiao Ping is closing and that the new circumstances of the global economy will require a rethinking of economic opportunities for short and long term growth with new institutional arrangements and priorities in the areas of technological innovation, knowledge governance and inter-regional economic relations.

The moment is opportune to consider how emerging economies such as Brazil should structure its long term growth prospects. It seems urgent to evaluate the options of an international economic and political order that combines multipolarity and increased competition.
