Summary

"Modern Brazil: A Very Short Introduction provides an account of modern Brazil, covering some of the major features of the country's transformation. Brazil is alternately praised as a rising power or written off as a country forever failing to reach its potential. This VSI discusses the rise of the modern state in the mid-20th century, and the domestic economic, political, and social challenges faced by the country today. Highlighting some of the peculiar features of Brazil's development, it also examines how its political leaders engage in informal political deals. Moreover, it looks at the state's welfare institutions and Brazil's long history of peaceful relations with neighbours"--, Provided by publisher
