Why Brazil is the odd BRIC

Global Issues In Context
Why Brazil Is The Odd BRIC

  • Brazil has always had a slow growth in their economy.

  • Touting-: to try to attract customers or support, especially in an aggressive or persistent way

  • Clout-the power to direct, shape, or otherwise influence things

  • Brazil's economy grows half the rate at which China's and Inda's economy grows

  • It has no nuclear weapons

  • Brazil has agreed with the U.S. in favor of having agricultural markets

  • Brazil's economy grows at two thirds the rate of Russia's government

Will Brazil stay with the BRIC countries?
