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 Brazil to be a country afraid of becoming more international? Written by a Brazilian expert in foreign affairs, this book describes 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.

Teixeira da Costa doesn’t blame foreign bullies for blocking Brazil. Instead, he quotes former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso: “Nothing makes Brazilians happier than isolation.” Part diagnosis, part prescription, Teixeira da Costa’s book may serve as a primer for those who wonder why a continent-size nation of 215 million is often marked down as absent during important international roll calls. For Brazilians, it poses a series of Socratic questions designed to fuel debate —Global Finance.
