Abstract

The contemporary international relations are structured and influenced by a different correlation of power than the one at the end of the Cold War and the years immediately after that historical moment. One of the most significant aspects is the rise of China and its accumulation of power that places the country as an essential player for the outline of the new international framework, which challenges the hegemonic power of the United States. This situation favors the shaping of new spaces of coordination for power projection that enhances relationships among undeveloped countries within the formulation of the Global South concept. This process of the consolidation of China as a power pole and the uniqueness of its international projection in the last few years spurred the Beijing Consensus idea as an alternative to the status quo, an approach with a negative connotation of domination towards the countries of the Global South. Thus, based on the Offensive Realism and on the Global Power theoretical contributions we focus the research on the Brazilian Foreign Policy perspective in order to analyze the ramifications of this process for the Brazilian
power projection in the South-American sphere in the last few years.
