Professor Elena Lazarou - coordinator of the International Relations Center at FGV, based at CPDOC - just released the book ?Multilateralismo nas Relações Internacionais: visões cruzadas? (Multilateralism in International Relations: Crossed visions) by the publishing house Elsevier. The work is a theoretical approach to the concept and its evolution in different countries and regions, such as Europe, China, India and Brazil.In the 21st century, almost 200 years after the first experience of modern nation-states with multilateral arrangements for the regulation of the international system and dispute resolutions, experts still struggle to understand what makes multilateralism emerge, be adopted or abandoned, and thereby predict whether this is a trend for the future or a feature of the past, stated Elena. The professor also highlighted that the publication helps fill a gap of International Relations issues in Portuguese.The book also has a chapter of Professor Oliver Stuenkel, CPDOC's coordinator in São Paulo, and authors such as Christopher Hill and Flávia de Campos Mello.The launch took place yesterday, June 10, at Livraria da Travessa, in Botafogo.Please click here and learn more (in Portuguese).
