International Politics

Brazil stands out on the international stage as an emerging power and leader in Latin America, despite being marked by ambiguous stances on human rights. The country also plays a prominent role in the G20 and BRICS.

In this context, we monitor the expansion of Brazil's new dimensions as a global actor, with particular attention to its role in the G20 and BRICS, aiming to strengthen the participation of Brazilian civil society in these forums. Additionally, we foster debates and studies at regional, national, and international levels to promote North-South and South-South dialogues on gender equality, sustainability, and respect for human rights.
