Globalização econômica e desglobalização política: um fenômeno de descolamento

Abstract

The thesis investigates the detachment between economic globalization and political deglobalization, examining how market integration and economic interdependence coexist with a fragmented landscape in international relations. While economic globalization is driven by digitalization and the expansion of global value chains, the political sphere moves in the opposite direction, marked by protectionist policies, migration restrictions, and the reorganization of geopolitical blocs. The research demonstrates that the rise and fall of major powers directly influence global cycles of integration and withdrawal, shaping international governance and strategic alliances. Consequently, this work reveals a global context in which the economy remains interconnected while the political sphere grows increasingly unstable and divisive, challenging the sustainability of global order and cooperative relations amid new geopolitical pressures
