Is Latin America coming of age in the BRICS?
In this article, I explore the reasons driving Latin America’s relations with the BRICS in recent years. I discuss the role of Brazil, the changing geopolitical landscape, and the recent BRICS expansion in light of Latin America’s challenges and opportunities.
Energy Geopolitics and Emerging Global Axes
The energy transition is redrawing global power lines. Traditional oil and gas now coexist with critical minerals, green hydrogen, and electrical infrastructure as new strategic pillars. China has established dominance in clean technologies, while the United States and Europe counter with protectionist measures.
