Video: Book Launch - Brazil: The Troubled Rise of a Global Power by Michael Reid

The Economist journalist Michael Reid launched his book Brazil: The Troubled Rise of a Global Power on June 11 at Americas Society/Council of the Americas. AS/COA Senior Director of Policy and Americas Quarterly Editor-in-Chief Christopher Sabatini moderated the conversation with the author. Topics included the implications of the country's protests, steady growth of foreign direct investment, foreign policy, and—on the eve of the World Cup kick-off—the impact of the mega-event on the country’s politics and development (and its team’s chances in the tournament).
