contents This paper is devoted to the global analysis of the three-dimensional axisymmetric Navier--Stokes--Maxwell equations. More precisely, we are able to prove that, for large values of the speed of light $c\in (c_0, \infty)$, for some threshold $c_0>0$ depending only on the initial data, the system in question admits a unique global solution. The ensuing bounds on the solutions are uniform with respect to the speed of light, which allows us to study the singular regime $c\rightarrow \infty$ and rigorously derive the limiting viscous magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system in the axisymmetric setting. The strategy of our proofs draws insight from recent results on the two-dimensional incompressible Euler--Maxwell system to exploit the dissipative--dispersive structure of Maxwell's system in the axisymmetric setting. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the asymptotic regime $c\to\infty$ allows us to derive a robust nonlinear energy estimate which holds uniformly in $c$. As a byproduct of such refined uniform estimates, we are able to describe the global strong convergence of solutions toward the MHD system. This collection of results seemingly establishes the first available global well-posedness of three-dimensional viscous plasmas, where the electric and magnetic fields are governed by the complete Maxwell equations, for large initial data as $c\to\infty$.
