Book Synopsis Brazilian Industrialists and Democratic Change by : Leigh A. Payne
Download or read book Brazilian Industrialists and Democratic Change written by Leigh A. Payne and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leigh Payne shows that Brazilian industrial elites were more interested in political stability than in whether the regime inpower was authoritarian or democratic. Their concern with stability has led them to take seemingly contradictory positions: they strongly supported not only the military coup that toppled the old democratic order in favor of a repressive authoritarian regime but also the later transition to democracy.
Book Synopsis Brazil in Transition by : Lee J. Alston
Download or read book Brazil in Transition written by Lee J. Alston and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazil is the world's sixth-largest economy, and for the first three-quarters of the twentieth century was one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. While the country underwent two decades of unrelenting decline from 1975 to 1994, the economy has rebounded dramatically. How did this nation become an emerging power? Brazil in Transition looks at the factors behind why this particular country has successfully progressed up the economic development ladder. The authors examine the roles of beliefs, leadership, and institutions in the elusive, critical transition to sustainable development. Analyzing the last fifty years of Brazil's history, the authors explain how the nation's beliefs, centered on social inclusion yet bound by orthodox economic policies, led to institutions that altered economic, political, and social outcomes. Brazil's growth and inflation became less variable, the rule of law strengthened, politics became more open and competitive, and poverty and inequality declined. While these changes have led to a remarkable economic transformation, there have also been economic distortions and inefficiencies that the authors argue are part of the development process. Brazil in Transition demonstrates how a dynamic nation seized windows of opportunity to become a more equal, prosperous, and rules-based society.

Book Synopsis Political Transition and Democratic Consolidation by : Adriano Nervo Codato
Download or read book Political Transition and Democratic Consolidation written by Adriano Nervo Codato and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a political regime evolve? How (and when) does an old regime turn itself into a new one? When does a political change occur? What is the first thing to change in a political transformation and what is the degree and the speed of this change? What are the causes of this transformation? And when exactly does this change end? When the new regime is completely established? What concepts can we use to understand each moment of the political transition? How can we think about the whole process? In 2005, Brazil completes twenty continuous years of civil government, a striking exception in the country's history, all of then, except one, chosen by direct elections. The long transition from the dictatorial regime to a non-dictatorial one (not necessarily democratic) begin in 1974. Fifteen years after, in 1989, a new stage in this process begins, overcoming the instability of the national political scene. From this moment on, the consolidation of democracy becomes the central problem of the national political agenda. There are many ways of telling and explaining this history. This book presents a survey of the different interpretations of this important period of Brazilian history and, at the same time, outlines some criticisms on the mainstream interpretations in Brazilian Political Science.

Book Synopsis Democratic life after the transition: in search of governability in Brazil by : Remy J. Fontana
Download or read book Democratic life after the transition: in search of governability in Brazil written by Remy J. Fontana and published by Editora Dialética. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este estudo examina o governo de José Sarney, o primeiro após a ditadura militar, o governo de transição "par excellence". Porém, na fase final da redação, ocorreu a eleição de Lula (2002), um acontecimento político significativo, o que me induziu a acrescentar alguns comentários. Para avaliar as perspectivas de um governo com tal perfil, fiz uma breve incursão sobre os governos anteriores, incluindo os de Fernando Collor de Melo, Itamar Franco e Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Nesta segunda década do século XXI, embora sob formas e aparências um tanto alteradas, com novos protagonistas ou alguns remanescentes de conjunturas anteriores, os problemas de governabilidade e democracia ainda fazem parte do cenário político e institucional brasileiro. Trinta e seis anos após a Constituição de 1988, quando a democracia parecia consolidada, tivemos um governo autoritário (Jair Bolsonaro) que procurou ativamente sabotá-la; e um ensaio grotesco, mas não menos grave, de um golpe de estado da extrema direita. Não surpreende, portanto, que questões que foram cruciais nas décadas de 1980 e 1990 ainda estejam na agenda política e exijam atenção para serem confrontadas e, esperançosamente, descartadas como resíduos podres do nosso passado.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Brazil by : Lawrence S. Graham
Download or read book The Political Economy of Brazil written by Lawrence S. Graham and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition from authoritarian to democratic government in Brazil unleashed profound changes in government and society that cannot be adequately understood from any single theoretical perspective. The great need, say Graham and Wilson, is a holistic vision of what occurred in Brazil, one that opens political and economic analysis to new vistas. This need is answered in The Political Economy of Brazil, a groundbreaking study of late twentieth-century Brazilian issues from a policy perspective. The book was an outgrowth of a year-long policy research project undertaken jointly by the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies, both at the University of Texas at Austin. In this book, several noted scholars focus on specific issues central to an understanding of the political and economic choices that were under debate in Brazil. Their findings reveal that for Brazil the break with the past—the authoritarian regime—could not be complete due to economic choices made in the 1960s and 1970s, and also the way in which economic resources committed at that time locked the government into a relatively limited number of options in balancing external and internal pressures. These conclusions will be important for everyone working in Latin American and Third World development.
Book Synopsis State And Society In Brazil by : John D Wirth
Download or read book State And Society In Brazil written by John D Wirth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume grew out of a conference series sponsored jointly by the Stanford-Berkeley Joint Center for Latin American Studies and the Instituto Universitario de Pesquisas do Rio de Janeiro (IUPERJ). Entitled "Opportunities and Constraints in Peripheral Industrial Society: The Case of Brazil," the first conference was held in Nova Friburgo in July 1983 and was followed up by another at Berkeley in late January 1984. In the course of our discussions, the subject matter widened so that a new title was chosen for this book. Also,in the interim, as Brazil made the transition to democracy and returned to economic growth, many topics on the agenda for the 1980s emerged in clearer focus, so that the chapters have all been sharpened and upgraded. In the division of labor that produced this book, Nunes coordinated the project at Berkeley and in Brazil, while Wirth and Bogenschild did the editing.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Capitalist Transformation by : Jeff Seward
Download or read book The Politics of Capitalist Transformation written by Jeff Seward and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Capitalist Transformation is the only book-length study of the highly protectionist Brazilian informatics policy from its origins in the early 1970s to the collapse of the market reserve in the early 1990s and its impact in subsequent decades. Jeff Seward provides a sophisticated political analysis of how state activists constructed high levels of state autonomy to try to shift Brazil to a new variety of capitalism by eclipsing the multinational companies (especially IBM) that dominated the Brazilian computer sector and replacing them with local companies with 100 percent Brazilian technology and ownership. This ambitious policy required repeated shifts of political strategy and policymaking institutions to respond to a constantly changing economic and political environment as Brazil made a dramatic transition from military dictatorship to democracy. The innovative framework to analyze state autonomy and the sophisticated political analysis of the policymaking process will be of interest to scholars and students of Brazilian and Latin American political economy, varieties of capitalism theory, state theory, democratic transition theory, and high technology policymaking in developing countries.

Book Synopsis Conventional Paths for New Challenges? by : Colette Sophie Vogeler
Download or read book Conventional Paths for New Challenges? written by Colette Sophie Vogeler and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazil's economic policy is facing far-reaching changes. The democratic transition was accompanied by a radical change toward an economic paradigm that is referred to as neoliberal in the country. This new paradigm was only partially compatible with the pre-existing structures. The study shows how specific social and economic path dependencies impede sustainable paradigm change and enable a reorientation toward long-term institutionalized patterns. At the moment, different paradigms are competing within Brazil's political-economic discourse, and they have become the central topic of electoral campaigns and party competition. Whether or not a paradigm that has been successful in the short term may have a lasting effect on Brazil's economic policy will depend on the extent to which it harmonizes with the existing socio-economic constellations.
Book Synopsis Democratic Brazil by : Peter R. Kingstone
Download or read book Democratic Brazil written by Peter R. Kingstone and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2000-02-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 21 years of military rule, Brazil returned to democracy in 1985. Over the past decade and a half, Brazilians in the Nova Repœblica (New Republic) have struggled with a range of diverse challenges that have tested the durability and quality of the young democracy. How well have they succeeded? To what extent can we say that Brazilian democracy has consolidated? What actors, institutions, and processes have emerged as most salient over the past 15 years? Although Brazil is Latin America's largest country, the world's third largest democracy, and a country with a population and GNP larger than Yeltsin's Russia, more than a decade has passed since the last collaborative effort to examine regime change in Brazil, and no work in English has yet provided a comprehensive appraisal of Brazilian democracy in the period since 1985. Democratic Brazil: Actors, Institutions, and Processes analyzes Brazilian democracy in a comprehensive, systematic fashion, covering the full period of the New Republic from Presidents Sarney to Cardoso. Democratic Brazil brings together twelve top scholars, the "next generation of Brazilianists," with wide-ranging specialties including institutional analysis, state autonomy, federalism and decentralization, economic management and business-state relations, the military, the Catholic Church and the new religious pluralism, social movements, the left, regional integration, demographic change, and human rights and the rule of law. Each chapter focuses on a crucial process or actor in the New Republic, with emphasis on its relationship to democratic consolidation. The volume also contains a comprehensive bibliography on Brazilian politics and society since 1985. Prominent Brazilian historian Thomas Skidmore has contributed a foreword to the volume. Democratic Brazil speaks to a wide audience, including Brazilianists, Latin Americanists generally, students of comparative democratization, as well as specialists within the various thematic subfields represented by the contributors. Written in a clear, accessible style, the book is ideally suited for use in upper-level undergraduate courses and graduate seminars on Latin American politics and development.

Book Synopsis New Order and Progress by : Ben Ross Schneider
Download or read book New Order and Progress written by Ben Ross Schneider and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben Ross Schneider's volume, New Order and Progress takes a thorough look at the political economy of Brazil. The distinctive perspective of the 11 chapters is historical, comparative, and theoretical. Collectively, the chapters offer sobering insight into why Brazil has not been the rising economic star of the BRIC that many predicted it would be, but also documents the gains that Brazil has made toward greater equality and stability. The book is grouped into four parts covering Brazil's development strategy, governance, social change, and political representation. The authors -18 leading experts from Brazil and the United States - analyze core issues in Brazil's evolving political economy, including falling inequality, the new middle class, equalizing federalism, the politicization of the federal bureaucracy, resurgent state capitalism, labor market discrimination, survival of political dynasties, the expansion of suffrage, oil and the resource curse, exchange rates and capital controls, protest movements, and the frayed social contract.
