Three Paraguayan Youngsters Destined for a Move to Europe
Paraguay’s last World Cup appearance was back in 2010, where they reached the quarter-finals – only losing to Spain on penalties in South Africa. In that squad, they had well known forward Roque Santa Cruz, who is one of the most famous Paraguayan footballers in modern times.

LulaMeter 2.0: A Nightmare On Wall Street

The Real has tanked, the stock market is spooked and the usual suspects in the financial media have started discussing Lula’s large lead as somehow a “risk” that investors should be pricing in.

Brasil Today | Brasil Wire
Brasil today sits at a rare turning point for any country. Despite the furore surrounding the Petrobras scandal and the water crisis in São Paulo there are far more pressing issues that underpin whether Brasil can make the very difficult jump from middle income to rich, emerging to developed country, in the near future.
São Paulo Water Crisis: Solutions?
Despite 2014 being the hottest year on record, and rainfall in South Eastern Brasil drastically lower than average, the current water crisis is rooted in decades of poor planning & lack of preventative action by State Water Company (SabeSP) & Government of São Paulo. Neighbouring states face their own problems, but none so acute.
Reclaiming the Jungle
|
A new film ‘O que e Nosso” (That which is ours) takes on documenting a unique amorphous movement, still a long way from fully understood, which has developed in São Paulo over the last 5 years or so. Encompassing street parties, art, digital & street-level activism, various counter cultures, new urbanism & psychology, it has been the catalyst for a re-imagining of the city’s neglected centre and energised attitudes towards public spaces in a megalopolis where they are scarce.

Lina Bo Bardi - 100 Years
Lina Bo Bardi is revered in Brasil as one of the country’s greatest architects and December sees the 100th anniversary of her birth. Her work and ideas even transcend the shadow of Brasil’s titan of Modernism, Oscar Niemeyer; she is truly an architect’s architect. Yet the greatest oddity in a country often criticised for being thin-skinned towards foreign interference is that Bardi is not a Brazilian, but Italian.
Brasil’s Citizen Kanes
Brasil has a healthy and noisy media landscape; from sophisticated daily papers and weekly magazines comparable to any in Europe, right through to trashy supermarket rags like you see across the United States. But at the top level there is a deep undercurrent of conservatism that often goes unnoticed, a conservatism that pre-dates any of the current party-political brands, and a conservatism that encouraged & supported the military dictatorship.
