On Monday, the world’s 20 largest economies descended on Rio de Janeiro for the annual G20 summit. But Brazil’s wider role in the shifting world order is frequently misperceived in Western discourse. Many tend to categorise it either as a close partner of Russia and China, or as a staunch supporter of the international order established by the West. In fact, however, it aligns with neither.This week, Mark Leonard welcomes José Ignacio Torreblanca, senior policy fellow and head of ECFR’s Madrid office, and Pawel Zerka, senior policy fellow, to discuss Brazil’s role in a changing world order. What are the main takeaways from this year’s G20, and how does Brazil view its role in such summits? How is Brazil positioning itself in the world? What types of relationships does Brasilia seek with global south countries, and how does Europe fit into this? And what do Brazilians think about Donald Trump?Bookshelf:Forgotten Continent: A History of the New Latin America by Michael ReidThe Tech Coup: How to Save Democracy from Silicon Valley by Marietje SchaakeLa France, tu l aimes mais tu la quittes: Enquête sur la diaspora française musulmane by de Collectif, Olivier Esteves, Alice Picard Jak biały człowiek by Oliwia BosomtweBrazil: Europe’s bridge to the global south by Carla Hobbs, José Ignacio Torreblanca, Pawel ZerkaThis podcast was recorded on 21 November 2024 Hosted on Acast.
