Abstract: The research addressed the Iranian nuclear program and analyzed the role that acquiring nuclear weapons might play in easing tensions in the Middle East, focusing on the relationship between Iran, Israel, and the United States. The study was divided into five parts: it began with an introduction to the subject, followed by a theoretical discussion on the role of nuclear weapons in international politics and the concept of nuclear deterrence. Next, the study examined the Iranian adversaries in question—the United States and Israel—and analyzed recent military conflicts involving Iran and these two opponents. Subsequently, the results and final discussion were evaluated. The study concluded that Iran’s potential possession of nuclear weapons would act as a factor for regional stability, provided certain requirements were met, such as the effective management of deterrence and the maintenance of a nuclear arsenal sufficient to ensure a retaliatory capability. Furthermore, the feasibility of the United States and Israel using military force to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons was analyzed, leading to the conclusion that war is not the best option.

To support this argument, the study reconstructs the Chinese cooperation model—based on the principles of non-interference and a demand-driven system—and examines the trajectory of Latin American development from primary-export dependency to the collapse of the industrialization project. It demonstrates that, in the absence of state planning, Chinese capital tends to deepen existing primary-sector specialization. The Venezuelan case is treated as an extreme manifestation of this dynamic, drawing on Baptista’s (2010) concept of rentier capitalism; the analysis reveals that, amidst the isolation imposed by US sanctions, Chinese capital functioned less as a driver of development and more as a minimal condition for economic survival.

By examining Chinese public policies, with emphasis on the 11th to the 14th Five-Year Plans (2006–2025), the study seeks to understand how China's experience can contribute to strengthening fashion as a creative industry in Brazil, particularly following the reestablishment of the Secretariat for the Creative Economy in 2025. To this end, a qualitative study with an interpretative approach was conducted, based on a bibliographic and documentary review. The findings indicate that strengthening fashion as a creative industry in Brazil depends on the formulation of consistent, coordinated, multidisciplinary, and long-term public policies capable of enhancing the sector's competitiveness, promoting Brazilian cultural identity, and expanding the country's international presence by transforming its symbolic capital into economic value and cultural influence Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/50417 2026-07-31T00:00:00Z
