The Report Highlights Brazil as One of the Main Powers of the Global South, Alongside Seven Other Strategic Countries, Indicating Its Central Role in Defining the International Order in the Coming Decades, with Growing Political, Economic and Diplomatic Influence
The shift in the center of gravity of global politics has led Global South countries to increase their protagonism, according to a CSIS report that identifies eight states with a disproportionate role in defining the future international order.
Emerging States and the Reorganization of Global Power
As international politics transforms, Global South countries consolidate their capacity for independent action, acting as diverse actors seeking to maximize external influence through flexible alignments and pragmatic diplomacy.
This movement reflects an attempt to balance national interests, strategic autonomy, and economic insertion, without rigidly adhering to fixed blocs, redefining traditional patterns of action in the contemporary international system.

Eight Countries with a Decisive Role in the Global Order
The report identifies Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, India, and United Arab Emirates as states capable of consistently influencing the direction of the global order.
These countries combine regional weight, economic relevance, and diplomatic capacity, becoming strategic support points in disputes among great powers and in global multilateral negotiations.
Relation with the United States and Narrative Disputes
The growing influence of the Global South is not inherently contrary to the interests of the United States, but it requires avoiding zero-sum interpretations of the demands presented by these emerging powers.
China and Russia benefit by framing the Global South as a cohesive front against the order led by the US, while many of these countries adopt customized strategies to preserve sovereignty and economic development.
The Fulcrums of Order Initiative from CSIS
The initiative Fulcrums of Order: Rising States and the Struggle for the Future, from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, analyzes the conditions, aspirations, and strategic cultures of these regional powers.
The project examines worldviews, approaches to competition among great powers, and perspectives on the global order, aiming to support a recalibration of the United States’ global partnerships in the coming decades.
KKKKk!!!
Um país em que METADE da população está pendurada em algum programa assistencialista e em que 30% da população é ANALFABETA FUNCIONAL, vai ser LÍDER no que?!!!
Só se for líder global no número ABSOLUTO de homicídios. Sim, porque o Brasil é o país onde morre mais gente assassinada no Mundo.
É só nisso que somos realmente destaque.
E o brasileiro ainda se acha a última bolacha do pacote! Por isso não melhoramos, e ainda nos abraçamos com outras nações fracassadas, enquanto o resto do mundo avança.
Chega de ufanismo…
É bem isso, esses alienígenas estão tomado conta do país e destruindo a nossa nação, e querem que acreditemos que não seremos os bobos da corte.
