Brazil in the age of Bolsonaro

— Panellists discuss Brazil’s political evolution, economic recovery, and the 2022 presidential elections.

Whether over matters of COVID-19 infection rates, environmental concerns, or political polarization, Brazil has become a focus in the news of late.

  • What explains the seeming political and policy upheaval in a country that a short decade ago was hailed as rising global power?
  • What are the implications for the 2022 presidential elections and Brazil’s economic growth?
