UM BRASIL’s Library

In its twelfth edition, the publication offers an in-depth look—through essays, visuals, and critical analysis—at the structural, social, environmental, political, and economic contradictions of contemporary Brazil. Combining interviews, reports, opinion pieces, and data, the book weaves together diverse voices, diagnoses, and proposals regarding the nation’s major dilemmas.

How can the country’s sheer scale be transformed into a genuine capacity to deliver results? How can the culture of improvisation be overcome and the state structure modernized? How should the country position itself in a world wavering between economic retrenchment and openness? How can growth be achieved without degrading the natural environment? How can disinformation be combated in a hyper-connected world?

Within the pages of UM BRASIL #12, leading figures in contemporary Brazilian and international thought outline paths toward the country’s desired, sustainable development.
