Practical information
Brazil is one of the most promising high-growth markets, with rich natural resources, economic stability and a booming middle class. In addition, it is now on the road to becoming a major global oil exporter with an estimated 50 billion barrels of reserves, and it will shortly host the two biggest international sport events. In 2011, however, Brazil was clouded by government scandals and a Euro zone crisis which hit export demand and decreased foreign lending, leading to a slowing growth rate. The question is: Will Brazil bounce back to steady growth?
The subsalt oilfield discoveries could generate considerable wealth with the potential to transform Brazil's economy, but to ensure the full development of these subsalt fields, foreign technical expertise and massive investment are required. What are the major tax, regulatory and legal challenges for foreign investors in this industry?
The 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics are around the corner, highlighting Brazil's still-flawed infrastructure. Numerous projects are on stand-by, remaining to be contracted and financed. Will Brazil be ready to welcome the millions of fans and tourists attending these events? How can investors tap into these investment opportunities most effectively?
The Brazil Business Summit, now in its third year, provides top executives involved in the Brazilian market with clear insight into the investment climate, in a constructive, peer-to-peer setting.

A New Moment for Central Europe? Regional Cooperation in a Time of European Strategic Choices
Recent political developments in Central Europe have revived the debate about the future of regional cooperation and the Visegrád Group. Changes in Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, together with Austria’s growing interest in closer cooperation with its neighbours, could create new opportunities for dialogue and coordination around shared priorities.
China’s Nuclear Buildup: Developments, Drivers, and Implications for Major-Power Relations and Arms Control
China has been steadily expanding its nuclear arsenal for several years amid levels of geopolitical tension unseen since the end of the Cold War, marked by a resurgence in nuclear proliferation and a broader, global arms race.
Reinventing Coordination in an Age of Fragmentation
The world economy is being reordered. The certainties of the post-Cold War era, open trade, dollar centrality, predictable multilateral coordination, are giving way to a landscape shaped by rivalry between the United States and China, the weaponization of interdependence, and a scramble to secure supply chains, technologies and critical resources. What once looked like a stable architecture now appears fragile, contested, and in places actively being dismantled.
