About this Event
Following the first round of Brazil’s presidential elections, this panel brings together experts on Brazilian politics to assess the results and consider the implications for the decisive second round. The discussion will examine the patterns of voter behaviour revealed in the first-round vote, the factors likely to shape electoral dynamics in the run-off, and the policy consequences associated with each potential outcome. The panel will also explore the implications of the election for Brazil’s domestic agenda and its position in the international arena.
