A hegemonia do dólar no sistema monetário e os desafios do renminbi em se tornar uma moeda internacional

Abstract

In this paper, we aim to discuss the contemporary US hegemony in the international monetary and financial system and analyze the international discussions after the 2008 crisis concerning the decrease of the dollar preponderance globally. Given the rise of China in the current international economy, we highlight, especially, the Chinese policies that intent to reduce its dependence on the US dollar in the global monetary and financial order.
