In Brazil, the confluence of strong global demand for the
country's major products, global successes for its major
corporations, and steady results from its economic policies is
building confidence and even reviving dreams of grandeza --the
greatness that has proven elusive in the past. Even as the current
economic crisis tempers expectations of the future, the trends
identified in this book suggest that Brazil will continue its path
toward becoming a leading economic power in the future.
Once seen as an economic backwater, Brazil now occupies key
niches in energy, agriculture, service industries, and even high
technology. Yet Latin America's largest nation still struggles with
endemic inequality issues and deep-seated ambivalence toward global
economic integration.
Scholars and policy practitioners from Brazil, the United
States, and Europe recently gathered to investigate the present
state and likely future of the Brazilian economy. This important
volume is the timely result. In "Brazil as an Economic Superpower?"
international authorities focus on five key topics: agribusiness,
energy, trade, social investment, and multinational corporations.
Their analyses and expertise provide not only a unique and
authoritative picture of the Brazilian economy but also a useful
lens through which to view the changing global economy as a
whole.
