“…92 A decade later, China grew into the second-largest economy in the world, boasting its technological and military might. 93 China now challenges the Western or American hegemony in the world system with the ambition to be recognized as one of the world powers. 94 The 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing will take place in this political backdrop.…”

The summer and winter Olympics share the five-ring logo. However, their social and political connotations differ. The Olympic Winter Games displays an aura of a game for the rich and powerful. A few aspiring nations intend to host this luxurious sporting festival in order to polish their international reputations as powerful actors in the global capitalist order. The cases of Sochi 2014, PyeongChang 2018 and Beijing 2022 illustrate this pattern. Wallerstein's world-system theory is a useful conceptual tool to examine the context of each Olympics, the content of the Olympic ceremonies, the nature of athletic competitions, and the post-event political environment. Although the three nations have different historical backgrounds and different diplomatic aims, the winter Olympics provided the trio with an opportunity to construct an image of major global or regional power. Russian Olympic diplomacy in Sochi was impressive but its post-event aggression undercut its soft power exercise on the ice. South Korea acquired desired political outcomes by hosting the Olympic Winter Games and its peace campaign continued after the event. China has the potential to highlight its emerging world power status at Beijing 2022. Yet, increasing China scepticism in the West may impede its winter Olympic diplomacy.While the summer and winter Olympics are global sport mega-events that share the identical five-ring logo, the social and political connotations of the two occasions differ significantly. 1 Most notably, the global north and south divide is more clearly visible at the Olympic Winter Games than its summer counterpart because economic and cultural barriers to winter sports are higher than most summer sporting activities. 2 At the same time, the winter Olympics today seems to reinforce Western cultural hegemony and white privilege as North American, European and Scandinavian athletes prevail in most of the winter Olympic events. 3 The winter sport mega-event awarded to non-Western cities, namely Sochi 2014, PyeongChang 2018 and Beijing 2022, involves a distinctive interplay amongst state, sport, and cultural diplomacy. 4 Despite, or because of, the economic and cultural

“…O poder terrestre é contemplado com a construção de uma rodovia em Ufa, acompanhada de um túnel e uma ponte. Afeganistão, Argentina, Indonésia, México, Turquia, Egito, Irã, Nigéria, Sudão, Síria, Bangladesh e Grécia (Urio, 2019). Como tal interesse é em se tornar membro pleno do BRICS, depreende-se que existem também a intenção de aderir ao NBD.…”

RESUMOO estabelecimento do Novo Banco de Desenvolvimento (NBD) foi um passo importante na institucionalização do BRICS. A pergunta de pesquisa é: Por que o NBD é um meio de exercício de poder? A hipótese é que normas e atos institucionais do Banco constituem um meio de exercício de poder em várias dimensões. O marco teórico, que fundamenta a hipótese, é a literatura sobre o conceito de poder, principalmente a abordagem de David Baldwin (2013), acerca das dimensões do poder. Baldwin identificou cinco dimensões (escopo, domínio, custos, peso e meios). Por meio da soma de abordagens complementares, Nye (2011), Barnett e Duvall (2005), Strange (1994), Wight (2002), Berger (2005), Stuenkel (2017b), entre outros, identificamos mais seis dimensões do poder (método de aplicação de meios, incidência, agência vs. estrutura, grau de dominância, geográfica e grau de transição). Todas as dimensões são explicadas no capítulo teórico. O método é qualitativo e quantitativo, com a análise de dados empíricos e fontes primárias (Acordo Constitutivo, projetos, memorandos de entendimento, relatórios oficiais do Banco, entre outros), para a verificação do grau de presença de cada dimensão do poder na instituição NBD. Como resultados, foram identificadas repercussões do Novo Banco de Desenvolvimento para cada dimensão do poder.
