This report provides a summary of a workshop on global and regional security held in Brasilia on 13 and 14 August 2012. At the workshop, Brazil's position in the region was discussed along with an analysis of emerging security threats. In addition, limits to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) were addressed, as well as Brazil’s nuclear submarine program. According to the authors, Brazilian and US participants both agreed on the need to foster an emerging 'community of interest' on security issues that involved both countries, including nuclear safety and disaster response.
