Abstract

There would only be few countries on face of the earth as rich in natural resources as Brazil. These natural resources ranging from minerals beneath the ground to waters on ground, along with dynamic and charismatic political leadership have paved the way for the rise of Brazil as an economic power within the region as well as in the globe. This rising economic power has facilitated Brazil to acquire enhanced political influence both regionally and globally. The last decade has witnessed an obvious transformation in the stature and character of Brazil and has ushered in an opportunity for this state to emerge as a global economic and political power. This article juxtaposes the dynamics and implications of Brazilian economy with the help of existing literature to highlight the relationship of various factors in the Brazilian economy that plays significant role in the rise of politically powerful Brazil.
