Abstract
This
thesis
examines
the
current
research
by
geographic
journals
into
Brazil's
potential
as a
growing
economic
and
political
power
, in
order
to
determine
what
aspects
of
Brazil
have
become
focal
points
of
academic
research
, and to
examine
whether
Brazil's
growth
potential
puts
it
on
course
to
match
the
United
States
as a
world
power
in the
coming
decades
. This was
accomplished
via
an
extensive
literature
review
, as
well
as a
numerical
analysis
of
11
academic
journals
(plus
Newsweek
magazine)
using
11
search
terms
related
to
Brazil's
development
that
determined
what
areas
of
focus
are
most
prominent
in
geographic
literature
.
Due
to its
isolation
from
many
of the
geographic
core
countries
located
in the
northern
hemisphere
,
Brazil
offers
a
unique
opportunity
to
explore
the
growth
potential
of a
semi-periphery
country
into the
role
of a
core
country
.
Brazil
is
part
of the
group
known
as
BRICSAM
(Brazil
,
Russia
,
India
,
China
,
South
Africa
and
Mexico)
,
six
major
semi-periphery
countries
with
rising
economies
that are
beginning
to
make
a
global
splash
. A
large
landmass
gives
Brazil
a
wide
array
of
natural
resources
to
bolster
the
country's
growing
economy
, in
turn
creating
the
potential
to
become
the
de
facto
leader
of
South
America
via
the
Mercosur
trade
alliance
. In
spite
of these
factors
,
Brazil
has been
ignored
by
many
researchers
in
academia
.
Rapidly-expanding
populations
like
India
and
China
have
become
the
focus
of
geographic
inquiry
in
recent
years
, but
Brazil
, a
similar
developing
power
in a
region
currently
lacking
in
global
economic
strength
,
is
left
on the
backburner
in
terms
of an
overall
literature
analysis
.
I
believe
this
is
due
to
geographic
factors
giving
Brazil
an
unearned
sense
of
bravado
, as
well
as a
cycle
of
poor
economic
decisions
that have been
repeated
over
the
past
several
decades
.
