Brazil is in the midst of a crisis characterized by severe economic recession and dwindling political legitimacy of several governmental actors and institutions. At the same time, its international surroundings are changing fast with Trump in the White House, a pro-active China and changing political scenarios in neighboring countries.
What are Brazil's prospects for economic and political recovery in this context? What are the domestic institutional and political conditions for it? How can key sectors, such as the oil and gas, contribute to this recovery?
