Resumo

The article analyzed some impacts of recent transformations in the international economy and global geopolitics on the Latin American and Caribbean region. It also pointed out some of the main challenges that the region must face, aggravated by the unexpected Covid 19 pandemic. The article is divided in four parts: the first part discussed the South American scenario in the 21st century after the so-called commodities super cycle and the so-called Pink Wave, the economic challenges to be faced by the countries in the region, and some recommendations from multilateral agencies. In the second part a critical reflection was made on the current hegemonic development model in South America, the so-called neo-extractivism and some of its main socio-territorial implications. The third part showed how the current scenario of economic and political crisis reinforces a social crisis, resulting in changes in the idea of (in)security, enumerating the risk factors and their link to the current economic model. The fourth part dealt with political transformations in South America, highlighting the erosion of regional integration initiatives, the growing distrust of democracy, and the irrelevance of the region in the international arena. In the final considerations, some questions were raised about the viability of the region overcoming its challenges and seeking relevance in the international arena.
