поскольку мы сразу после Бразилии, и нам интересно знать:
The camera crews, the football teams and an estimated 600,000 fans will soon be descending on Brazil as it hosts the 2014 World Cup. The paint may still be drying on some of the 12 match venues when the first goal is scored on June 12. Hosted at a cost of more than $11 billion, these games are the most expensive World Cup to date.
Disgruntled Brazilians, who are footing a large part of that bill, have mounted waves of demonstrations against the World Cup. And they likely will continue to do so, using the publicity from the event to draw attention to the issues of poverty, corruption and inequality that are as much a part of Brazilian society as football.
The World Cup story that will play out for the next month is clearly about much more than a sport. The larger story weaves together threads of economics, politics, security risks, infrastructure, social culture and geography – areas that thousands of subscribers, the media and Fortune 500 clients have been asking Stratfor to explain for nearly 20 years.
We’ll leave it to the sportscasters to cover the games. Stratfor is a resource for the world travelers, investors and readers who want answers to questions like:
- Will street demonstrations pose a risk to my safety if I go to Brazil?
- How might the infrastructure that was built with the World Cup in mind impact foreign trade and investments?
- Will the backlash against World Cup expenditures cost President Dilma Roussef a re-election this fall?
- What policy changes should – or can – the world expect before the Summer Olympics come to Brazil in 2016?
