He discusses the country's development as a colony, empire, and republic; the making of modern Brazil, beginning with the rise to power of Getúlio Vargas; the advent of the military government in 1964; the return to civilian rule two decades later; and the pivotal presidencies of Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Luiz Inácio (Lula) da Silva, leading to the nation's current world status as one of the BRIC countries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnder newly elected President Dilma Rousseff, much remains to be done to consolidate and expand its global role. Nonetheless, as a player on the world stage, Brazil is here to stay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\"In part the [country's] success is due to external factors such as the high demand for Brazilian exports, particularly in China and the rest of Asia.
