The surprising success of Brazilian pharmaceutical firms, which became market champions in a sector largely dominated by multinational firms. Comparative lessons from the Brazilian case for the political construction of regulatory standards to regulate generic drugs and its effects on global health.

Because Brazil is one of the largest markets for pharmaceuticals in the world, business leaders and consultancy firms would also be interested.…
