Brasilianisation? or Brazilianization? Or this bizarre (sorry, bisarre) hybrid?

jopolho commented on the word brazilianisation
I know Brasilianisation and Brazilianization. I think the most correct is Brazilianization. Because we are speaking of the country Brazil (in English). Brasil with "s" is the Portuguese word for the country, my country, inclusive.

British English prefers the spelling -ise (and -isation) to the American -ize (-ization), hence Brazilianisation is quite regular from a BE point of view.

I think so, since Brazil is Brazil is Brazil (USA/UK/Oz).

Old-fashioned Oxford University Press prefers the etymologically grounded -ize/-ization (not an Americanism, but in use since the 16th century) to the French-influenced -ise spellings.
