Speakers:
At the halfway mark of his third term, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has reoriented Brazil’s foreign policy and restored its role as a leader in the region and on the world stage. But he has failed to deliver tangible results for the country. And despite important strategic and policy differences, Brazil and the United States have deepened cooperation on a range of issues during the bicentennial year of US-Brazil diplomatic relations.
Join Hudson for an event that will examine Brazil’s responses to key policy challenges, the impact of municipal elections, and prospects for bilateral relations between Brasilia and Washington. Daniel Batlle will moderate an expert panel featuring Marcio Coimbra, Rafael Favetti, and Mark Langevin.
