Brazil's influence in global governance is growing. In his book Brazil's Emerging Role in Global Governance, Markus Fraundorfer analyses the strategies behind this increased influence.
Brazil's role as an important actor in various sectors of global governance and, in particular, health, food security and bioenergy is emerging. By exploring how Brazil's exercise of power developed over the last decade, Markus Fraundorfer sheds light on the power strategies of an emerging country from the global south.

Markus Fraundorfer is a research fellow at Institute of International Relations of the University of University of São Paulo and a former research fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA).

His book Brazil’s Emerging Role in Global Governance is based on the research that he had conducted at the GIGA.
