This event aimed to analyze the concrete contemporary geopolitical landscape under the focus of the practical reactivation of the Monroe Doctrine within the framework of the United States’ new national security doctrine.

Particular attention was given to its implications for Brazil and the broader region of Iberian America, examining how renewed strategic “assertiveness” from Washington may reshape political, economic, and security dynamics across the hemisphere.

The discussion explored issues such as sovereignty, regional autonomy, strategic alignment, economic dependence, defense policy, and the evolving balance of power in the Western Hemisphere.

By situating current developments within their historical and doctrinal context, the panel sought to provide a critical and multidimensional assessment of emerging geopolitical trends and their long-term consequences for our world region.
