Brazil: Powering Ahead
CSS Analysis in Security Policy Cover
Brazil has enjoyed several years of strong economic growth and has made considerable progress in alleviating poverty. Its regional profile within South America has grown, and it is now a major player in the international energy market. Challenges remain however, especially in managing relations with the United States and in creating a globally competitive, skilled workforce. Even so, the country’s cordial neighbourhood relations, backed by diplomatic engagement with other rising powers and a focus on social welfare programs, suggest a bright future.
