It is with great pleasure that I have invited Feliciano de Sá Guimarães into the Virtual Studio for this episode of ‘Summit Dialogue’. Feliciano is currently the Academic Director and Senior Researcher at CEBRI. I hope, with Feliciano’s help to explore Brazil’s hosting of the G20. What designs and hopes does Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, or Lula as he is known, the returned President of Brazil have for Brazil’s G20 Presidency.

Feliciano is currently the Academic Director and Senior Researcher at the Brazilian Center of International Relations (CEBRI). Feliciano holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of São Paulo (2006-2010. Feliciano is an Associate Professor (livre docente) at the Institute of International Relations at the University of São Paulo (USP). He is also an associate editor of the journal Foreign Policy Analysis and Editor-in-chief of the CEBRI Journal.

So, let’s join Feliciano in the Virtual Studio to examine Brazil’s hosting year for the G20.
