Biography

Déborah Barros Leal Farias is a Lecturer in the University of New South Wales, Australia

"The phrase ‘soft power’ captures much of the essence of Brazil’s international rise, especially when compared to the much harder power of other emerging countries like China. Déborah Farias’ fascinating book shows us that there is surprising power in softness: Brazil deliberately eschews direct conditions and provides ample technical assistance without ties, positions that earn it gratitude and even some plums like the Directorship of the FAO. Along the way, we learn a great deal about not just Brazilian foreign policy-making, but the general politics of development assistance and the rise of South-South relations. This book is well worth the read." — Kathryn Hochstetler, Professor of International Development at the London School of Economics, UK
