Brazil's economy is one of the fastest growing in the world. Satisfying short-term energy needs generates serious consequences for the global environment. Paulo Sotero is uniquely qualified to discuss the challenges facing Brazil and other large, rapidly-growing economies as they try to reconcile short-term demand and long-term sustainability. A journalist by training, he has worked around the world for some of Brazil's leading newspapers. He is a member of the Grupo de Conjuntura Internacional, a forum of discussion of Brazilian foreign and trade policies at the University of São Paulo, and the Fernando Braudel Institute of World Economics, also based in São Paulo. Sotero is a frequent lecturer on Brazilian and Latin American affairs at U.S. universities and think tanks, and has appeared on national radio and television news programs, including To the Point (PRI), the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and Foreign Exchange with Fareed Zakaria (PBS), and the Diane Rehm Show (WAMU).
The Bank of America Lecture Series is sponsored by the Dean Rusk International Studies Program and Bank of America.
