This Pitt—CMU weekend joint course provides a brief, thematic overview of some of the emerging factors shaping Brazil today. As global citizens, students need to have a working knowledge of other countries that are important in shaping the corporate, social and political world. As a rising state in the world economy, Brazil’s status in world affairs is shifting in a transformative way.
After an overview of Brazil, this course will provide an introduction to Brazil in three dimensions: its diverse groups of people, the growth and development of the Brazilian economy and institutions, and the environmental issues and challenges in modern Brazil.
