What Brazil contributes to the international liberal order (Harold Trinkunas, Brookings)

Of the rising democracies Ted Piccone considers inhis important new book, Brazil perhaps best exemplifies the gap between making progress on democracy, human rights, and social inclusion at home and contributing to their spread abroad. Brazil makes the principles of non-intervention and sovereign equality the cornerstones of its foreign policy, which makes it reluctant to advocate vigorously for the values and principles that undergird its domestic politics. But the findings of Piccone’s book also highlight an important question: If not a liberal international order that values democracy and human rights, then what order do emerging powers such as Brazil want?
