BRICS: the world upside down
The rise of the Global South and the expansion of the BRICS are challenges to a system of Western norms and values undermined by its own contradictions. Democratic advocates of this swing see in it the promise of more inclusive global governance. But in an unpredictable geopolitical environment, this transformation is also high-risk.
This redrawing of the world is taking place in an increasingly merciless confrontation between the great powers. Could it lead to a weakening of liberal values, in particular fundamental human rights?

Tropical Utopia
Tropical Utopia is a documentary that provokes reflection on the political, social and economic issues that have shaped Latin America. João Amorim directs Noam Chomsky and Celso Amorim, a Brazilian diplomat, as they tell us the story of the proposed civilisation and independence of Latin America, and in particular Brazil. Both protagonists and observers of almost a century of history, Chomsky and Amorim shed light on key events of this period and seek to envision a fairer and more diverse Latin America.
