What do you think when someone mentions "Brazil"?

Probably, the first ideas that come to your mind are samba and football. Maybe you think of Pelé, Neymar, Ayrton Senna, and Giselle Bundchen. Maybe you think of the rainforest and Rio. But have you ever thought of Brazil as a country afraid of becoming more international?

Written by a Brazilian expert in foreign affairs, this book describes the Brazilian position in the international scenario and presents an authentic and provocative point of view on the Brazilian international relations. You will read a little about football and samba, but you will also be presented to a comprehensive set of themes, such as the impact of COVID-19, regional agreements, bilateral relations, finances, and migration.

Brazil is a country with a rich and diverse culture, a vibrant economy, and a strong presence in the global community. However, it has also faced challenges and obstacles in its journey to become more international. One of the main challenges is the perception that Brazil is a country of contrasts and contradictions. On the one hand, it is a country with a rich history, a diverse population, and a strong sense of national identity. On the other hand, it is also a country that has faced economic inequality, political instability, and social unrest in recent years.

Another challenge is the language barrier. While Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, there are many other languages spoken in the country, including Spanish, English, and French. This can create communication barriers and make it difficult for Brazil to engage with the global community.

Despite these challenges, Brazil has made significant progress in becoming more international. It has signed international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement on climate change, and has worked to strengthen its bilateral relations with other countries. It has also invested in infrastructure and education to promote economic development and improve the quality of life for its citizens.

In conclusion, Brazil is a country with a rich and diverse culture, a vibrant economy, and a strong presence in the global community. While it has faced challenges and obstacles in its journey to become more international, it has made significant progress and has the potential to continue to play a significant role in the world in the years to come.
