The overall objective of this dissertation is to analyze how the strengthening of multilateralism / regionalism focused on the global governance of intellectual property throughout its historical developments, highlighting how the strategy has been employed by the United States at the beginning of the new millennium. Argument that changing locus (multilateralism to regionalism) checked today on the agenda in question is part of a broader strategy aimed at maintaining U.S. dominance in international political economy. Adversely, however, this strategy stems from a recent concussion in the country's ability to legitimize their political and economic interests internationally; it reveals some difficulty in translating the specific interests of certain groups in American standards of universal validity and gain acquiescence of other international actors. The hypothesis I seek to confirm is that, considering the specific sense that Gramsci attributed to the term hegemony in today's global context and as part of a broader process, there is a relative loss of U.S. hegemony in the global agenda of the property intellectual. Chapter 1 sets the theoretical and methodological framework and reflects on the nature of political and economic thought and its place in international studies, justifying the inclusion of the work in the critical aspect of the new EPI. Chapter 2 examines the tensions between public and private interests in the formulation of the concept of intellectual property and its various narratives of justification. It also discusses the criticism of the hegemonic narrative, adopting a critical view of the role of intellectual property in the accumulation process in the context of post-industrial capitalism. Chapter 3 deals with the construction of U.S. hegemony in intellectual property regime through the process that culminated in the adoption of the TRIPS Agreement. Also highlights Brazil's position on the agenda concerned, highlighting some points of inflection of Brazilian foreign policy and its impact on the treatment of the theme in the home. Chapter 4 analyzes the cases of conflict in the multilateral arena during the first decade of the new millennium, with emphasis on Brazil s leadership on those events. It also discusses the issue of new regionalism , analyzing its relations with the U.S. strategy of intensification of standards of protection for intellectual property rights in the world, highlighting the case of ACTA. The Conclusion argues that, in a more profound and long-term dimension, it is possible to realize a concomitant process of cooptation of countries that traditionally oppose the hegemonic narrative justification, illustrated in the Brazilian case. In opposition to this process, however, it is possible to note the emergence of dissenting voices among social forces, which adopt a critical counter-hegemonic narrative.
