Indisciplinary number 14 – NEW Vectors of Development for a Shared Future World in South-South International Relations, proposes a debate on the constitution of a new multipolar world, in which China leads the countries of the Global South. In the first decade of the 21st century, the Belt and Road Initiative inaugurates the possibility of sharing ideas, wealth and globally interconnected infrastructural development projects from a Global South perspective. In addition to the intensification of new non-hegemonic geopolitical arrangements, where mutually beneficial partnerships escape from the Western Imperial conception, a new range of economic and productive alternatives opens up through win-win relationships, bringing about a multipolar world project where the future is shared within a possible and powerful eco-civilisation. We open the magazine with the graphic essay “The Crowd in the City” by Henrique Porto and the transcription of the lecture given by economist Márcio Pochmann during the webinar “Geopolitics and Territorial Development” by Matheus Coelho. We continue with the presentation of the articles, suggesting an order of reading that proposes a dialogue between the various themes and authors.
