Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazil is at crossroads, emerging slowly from a historic recession that was preceded by a huge economic boom. Reasons for the historic bust following a boom are manifold. Policy mistakes were an important contributory factor, and included the pursuit of countercyclical policies, introduced to deal with the effects of the global financial crisis, beyond the point where they were helpful. More fundamentally, it reflects longstanding structural weaknesses plaguing the economy, that also help explain Brazil’s uninspiring growth performance over the past four decades.

Book excerpt: Brazil in Crisis is a sweeping look at the history, culture, politics, and social problems of one of the world's largest and most dynamic countries. Marianne Campagna, who grew up in Brazil, wrote this book to learn why the Brazil of her childhood has become so deeply mired in poverty and corruption. To answer that question, she takes a hard look at the country's troublesome social, economic, and political scenes.At the root of Brazil's many problems is a legacy of slavery and the poverty that resulted from it. Campagna describes life in the favelas (slums), where one third of the population lives, and where drug trafficking and organized crime have embedded themselves. She explores how the government deals with poverty and crime, as well as the government's own corruption.But not all is negative. Brazil has a wonderful culture full of poetry, music, Carnival, and kindness. Campagna explores these cultural traditions and national traits that help the Brazilian people's spirits rise above their current situation.At the book's center is a discussion of the 2018 Presidential Election and Brazil's democratic process. Tracing Brazil's political history, Campagna reveals how right-wing Jair Bolsonaro, known as the "Trump of the Tropics," assumed the presidency, inheriting the economic stagnation that has paralyzed government projects and services and caused extreme inflation.Finally, Campagna offers her vision that Brazil will someday have a progressive government focused on investing in its people and future.

Book Synopsis Democracy and Brazil by : Bernardo Bianchi
Download or read book Democracy and Brazil written by Bernardo Bianchi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democracy and Brazil: Collapse and Regression discusses the de-democratization process underway in contemporary Brazil. The relative political stability that characterized domestic politics in the 2000s ended with the sudden emergence of a series of massive protests in 2013, followed by the controversial impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in 2016 and the election of Jair Bolsonaro in 2018. In this new, more conservative period in Brazilian politics, a series of institutional reforms deepened the distance between citizens and representatives. Brazil's current political crisis cannot be understood without reference to the continual growth of right-wing and ultra-right discourse, on the one hand, and to the neoliberal ideology that pervades the minds of large parts of the Brazilian elite, on the other. Twenty experts on Brazil across different fields discuss the ongoing political turmoil in the light of distinct problems: geopolitics, gender, religion, media, indigenous populations, right-wing strategies, and new forms of coup, among others. Updated analyses enriched with historical perspective help to illuminate the intricate issues that will determine the country's fate in years to come. Democracy and Brazil: Collapse and Regression will interest students and scholars of Brazilian Politics and History, Latin America, and the broader field of democracy studies.
Book Synopsis Crisis and Social Regression in Brazil by : Roberto Véras de Oliveira
Download or read book Crisis and Social Regression in Brazil written by Roberto Véras de Oliveira and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book published in English to present a concise but panoramic overview of the social, economic and political roots of the current Brazilian crisis. By situating former president Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment in the wider context of the historical struggle for social rights, citizenship and democracy in the country, the book provides a conceptual framework that will allow foreign readers to better understand the apparent contradiction of a rising regional power that all of a sudden entered in one of the worst economic, social and political crisis of its history. This book will be of interest to a wide range of social scientists (such as sociologists, economists, historians and political scientists) interested in labor and citizenship issues in developing countries like Brazil, as well as for social agents (from the public and private spheres) with practical involvement with such issues, such as trade unionists, leaders and advisors of business organizations, policy-makers, politicians, NGO activists and technicians.
Book Synopsis Macroeconomic Crises, Policies, and Growth in Brazil, 1964-90 by : Donald V. Coes
Download or read book Macroeconomic Crises, Policies, and Growth in Brazil, 1964-90 written by Donald V. Coes and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1995 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper No. 269. Water problems are emerging as the most compelling set of issues facing agricultural production in the 1990s. To address the policy challenges posed by this dilemma, this study focuses on the experience of the European Community (now the European Union, or EU) where high levels of nitrate, phosphate, and pesticides in surface and groundwater are a source of increasing concern. The author examines agricultural and water quality-related environmental policies at the EU and national levels, and discusses new policy approaches that attempt to integrate agricultural and environmental considerations. This study thus provides insights into policy options for controlling agricultural water pollution that might be useful in other parts of the world.
Book Synopsis Development And Crisis In Brazil, 1930-1983 by : Luiz Bresser Pereira

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first English-language edition of a book that has seen thirteen printings in Brazil, Dr. Bresser Pereira analyzes Brazil's economy and politics from 1930, when the Brazilian industrial revolution began, up to July 1983. First addressing the period of strong development in Brazil between 1930 and 1961, he discusses at length the import-substitution model of industrialization; the emergence of new classes—industrialists, industrial workers, and especially the new technobureaucratic middle classes; the conflict between the traditional agrarian ideologies of coffee planters and the nationalistic and industrializing ideologies of the new classes; and the new realities of the 1950s that led to the crisis of the populist alliance between the industrial bourgeoisie and the workers. Next he explores the economic and political crisis of the sixties, centering on the Revolution of 1964, when an industrialized and fully capitalist— but still underdeveloped—Brazil experienced the cyclical movements of capitalism. The final chapters of the book examine the Brazilian "miracle" of 1967-1973, the economic slowdown of the 1970s that culminated in the severe recession of 1981, the dialectics between the process of abertura led by the military regime established in 1964 and the redemocratization process demanded by civil society, and the "total crisis of 1983."

Book Synopsis Dependency and Crisis in Brazil and Argentina by : Felipe Antunes de Oliveira
Download or read book Dependency and Crisis in Brazil and Argentina written by Felipe Antunes de Oliveira and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2024-07-15 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the two largest countries in South America, successive waves of structural reforms adopted in the name of development invariably have ended in disappointment. The promise of development never seems to materialize. Dependency and Crisis in Brazil and Argentinaexamines why. Instead of looking for policy failures, F. Antunes de Oliveira’s focus is on the parameters of the public debate about “development” itself. An unfruitful dispute between neoliberalism and neodevelopmentalism has dominated Brazilian and Argentine political economy debates to the detriment of both countries. Antunes de Oliveira presents a comprehensive theoretical and empirical critique of the neoliberal and neodevelopmentalist structural reform cycles in Brazil and Argentina and applies insights from dependency theory to craft an alternative political economy framework for the analysis of development challenges.

Download or read book Crisis Cultures written by Brian Whitener and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a mix of political, economic, literary, and filmic texts, Crisis Cultures challenges current cultural histories of the neoliberal period by arguing that financialization, and not just neoliberalism, has been at the center of the dramatic transformations in Latin American societies in the last thirty years. Starting from political economic figures such as crisis, hyperinflation, credit, and circulation and exemplary cultural texts, Whitener traces the interactions between culture, finance, surplus populations, and racialized state violence after 1982 in Mexico and Brazil. Crisis Cultures makes sense of the emergence of new forms of exploitation and terrifying police and militarized violence by tracking the cultural and discursive forms, including real abstraction and the favela and immaterial cadavers and voided collectivities, that have emerged in the complicated aftermath of the long downturn and global turn to finance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An essential guide to understanding the current crisis in Brazil. Brazil is currently facing its greatest crisis since democracy was wrested by workers and social movements from the generals in 1985 after a brutal twenty-one-year military dictatorship. In Brazil at the Precipice, Sean Purdy tells the story of how Brazil got here, starting in 2002, when the Workers’ Party (PT) came to power under its founder Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, overseeing a ten-year period of sustained economic growth in the context of a booming world market for Brazilian commodities. Purdy traces the government’s implementation of successful social programs, jobs creation and modest reduction of economic and social inequality. Yet, he shows, the PT maintained the dominant neoliberal economic framework and constructed dubious alliances with a range of centrist and right-wing parties in order to advance its political agenda and effectively tamed unions and social movements, guaranteeing the PT’s victory in four successive elections. Purdy’s engaging narrative brings us to the global economic crisis, which reached the country in 2012, and the point at which the PT’s success began to unravel: the government’s adoption of an outright neoliberal program of cutbacks that undermined their support. Conservative political parties and social movements launched a concerted attack against the government, focusing on a corruption scandal that snowballed in little more than a year to the impeachment of President Dilma Rouseff. In tracing the trajectory and defeat of the Workers’ Party experiment with socialist politics, Brazil at the Precipice offers us valuable lessons for the experiments of the future"--Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Brazil as an Economic Superpower? by : Lael Brainard
Download or read book Brazil as an Economic Superpower? written by Lael Brainard and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Brazil, the confluence of strong global demand for the country's major products, global successes for its major corporations, and steady results from its economic policies is building confidence and even reviving dreams of grandeza—the greatness that has proven elusive in the past. Even as the current economic crisis tempers expectations of the future, the trends identified in this book suggest that Brazil will continue its path toward becoming a leading economic power in the future. Once seen as an economic backwater, Brazil now occupies key niches in energy, agriculture, service industries, and even high technology. Yet Latin America's largest nation still struggles with endemic inequality issues and deep-seated ambivalence toward global economic integration. Scholars and policy practitioners from Brazil, the United States, and Europe recently gathered to investigate the present state and likely future of the Brazilian economy. This important volume is the timely result. In Brazil as an Economic Superpower? international authorities focus on five key topics: agribusiness, energy, trade, social investment, and multinational corporations. Their analyses and expertise provide not only a unique and authoritative picture of the Brazilian economy but also a useful lens through which to view the changing global economy as a whole.
