Brasil e China no Reordenamento das Relações ... - Funag

azil-china and the reordering of international relations
These developments have accelerated the process of globalization.
Today, we live in a world that has become more and more interconnected
and interdependent. In other words, we have been more and more
globalized.
Brazil is a major player and has been one of the effective users of
the WTO dispute settlement mechanism. Since the establishment of the
WTO, Brazil has initiated 25 dispute settlement cases as complaints and
effectively protected its trade interest, including important cases such as:
US – Standards for Reformulated and Conventional Gasoline (it was the
first DS case in the WTO); Canada – Measures Affecting the Export of
Civilian Aircraft; US – Patents Code; US – Export Subsidies on Sugar;
EC – Export Subsidies on Sugar; US – Subsidies on Upland Cotton;
US – Domestic Support and Export Credit Guarantees for Agricultural
Products. There have been more individual Brazilian nationals saved as
dispute settlement Panelists in many Panel cases. Brazil has successfully
challenged other keys players on some important systemic issues which
would have far-reaching impact on the multilateral trading system (Charts
1 to 3).
