How should Brazil navigate its international relations in a landscape reminiscent of the Cold War but with far greater economic interdependence among superpowers? How can we balance the realism necessary in foreign policy with the democratic values enshrined in our Constitution? And how can Brazil play a role in reducing international conflicts and strengthening the cooperation essential to addressing global challenges that demand collective solutions?
The Fundação FHC is closely monitoring these global shifts. Through debates, publications, and videos, we aim to explore pathways that help Brazil find its place in a world fraught with risks and rich in new opportunities. Some of this content is collected on this page.
