A democracia tem futuro
O artigo comenta de forma sintética alguns dos desafios contemporâneos com que se defronta a democracia, recorrendo à perspectiva histórica para pensar questões atuais tais como o declínio dos níveis de confiança nas instituições políticas e a emergência de projetos populistas, aspectos que interpelam a democracia seja como ideal normativo, como aparato institucional, seja como procedimentos cristalizados. Levando em conta os grandes impasses con…
Social Trust, Inequality, and State Institutions in Brazil
How does interpersonal trust relate to trust in public institutions, people's willingness to contribute to redistributive actions, and the strong bonds of social cohesion in society? This article presents how Brazilians' trust in others and in various state institutions has varied since the 1990s and how the interaction between interpersonal and institutional trust affects social cohesion. Also, we examine how widespread social perceptions of ins…
Clash between Science and Politics
This article examines Brazil's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the implications of the politicization of science. We seek to identify what made possible a relatively successful immunization campaign, notwithstanding the opposition of anti-vaccine forces within the government, and look at how political power struggles informed choices that impaired the national production of vaccines. Finally, we look at negative signs emerging in attitudes …

Getting Respect
Racism is a common occurrence for members of marginalized groups around the world. This book illuminates their experiences and responses to stigmatization and discrimination by comparing three countries with enduring group boundaries: the United States, Brazil and Israel. The book delves into what kinds of stigmatizing or discriminatory incidents individuals encounter in each country, how they respond to these occurrences, and what they view as t…
A Manifesto for Social Progress
At this time when many have lost hope amidst conflicts, terrorism, environmental destruction, economic inequality and the breakdown of democracy, this beautifully written book outlines how to rethink and reform our key institutions - markets, corporations, welfare policies, democratic processes and transnational governance - to create better societies based on core principles of human dignity, sustainability, and justice. This new vision is based…

Getting Respect illuminates their experiences by comparing three countries with enduring group boundaries: the United States, Brazil and Israel.

From the study of racism to destigmatization and the transformation of group boundaries
The powerful film "I am not your Negro" concludes with novelist James Baldwin reflecting on how the United States made African-Americans into a "problem". He states that addressing this "problem" i

Processes and national dilemmas
In this article, we explore the impact of the global cultural transformation that reconciles the values of equality and difference as parameters of the good life. We argue that the idea that social justice incorporates both the value of equality and the value of difference expresses a broad cultural transformation, one that poses new challenges society has to confront to deal with the social distribution issue. Moreover, we sustain that while thi…
Interpretações e reações à estigmatização étnico-racial
Neste artigo apresentamos resultados de um projeto sobre narrativas e respostas à estigmatização e à discriminação de Negros Brasileiros, Afro-Americanos, e Mizrahim, Etíopes e Palestinos cidadãos de Israel. A comparação entre Brasil, Estados Unidos e Israel mostra como processos históricos e estruturas socioeconômicas distintas se relacionam com diferentes repertórios culturais, formando dinâmicas de grupos (groupness) diferenciadas. Juntos tais…
Sociologia política e processos macro-históricos
This article briefly discusses some of the many ways of practicing political sociology to illustrate the diversity of the field. It then comments on one of these approaches - the one that privileges macro-historical analyses - highlighting this perspective's preference for observing major transformation processes. Finally, adopting this same option, it discusses some of the ongoing transformations to suggest that they pose considerable theoretica…
Introduction to Worlds of Difference
Worlds of Difference
How can differences be understood in social theory through comparisons, and how should social theory relate to regional studies to do so? This question has been prevalent within the sociological field for over a century, but is becoming increasingly important in a globalised age in which cultural borders are constantly challenged and rapidly changing. In this collection, Arjomand and Reis illuminate the importance of exploring spatial, cultural a…
The multiple dimensions of racial mixture in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The notion that racial mixture is a central feature of Latin American societies has been interpreted in different, if not strictly opposite, ways. On the one hand, scholars have presented it as evidence of weaker racial boundaries. On the other, it has been denounced as an expression of the illusion of harmonic racial relations. Relying on 160 interviews with black Brazilians, we argue that the valorization of racial mixture is an important respo…
Perceptions of Racial Discrimination among Black Professionals in Rio De Janeiro
Most Brazilians believe that racial and socioeconomic inequalities tend to overlap—in other words, blacks are poorer because they have less education and worse jobs. In the past few years, however, several quantitative studies have presented an interesting puzzle: racial inequalities are strongest among those at the top of the socioeconomic hierarchy. This article explores the "elitist profile" of racial discrimination through eighty in-depth int…

O artigo combina discussão teórica com análise empírica, em um esforço para discutir mudanças em curso na teoria e na prática. Tomando ideias e ações como componentes entrelaçados dos processos sociais, focaliza-se uma mudança intelectual ampla e uma inovação institucional empírica como fenômenos que se espelham. No nível teórico, aborda-se a tendência a conceber a sociedade de uma forma que difere do cânone vigente até há bem pouco, argumentando…
Brazil
In the last 25 years, the democratic issue has dominated the agenda of Brazilian political science. After two decades of military rule and past frustrations in democratizing the political order, the successes and failures of the ongoing demo cratic experience have mobilized the attention of scholars and policy-oriented analysts. Many of the publications on the subject have not had a long lasting impact, being too centered on transient contextual …

Elites, perceptions and poverties
Elite perceptions of poverty and inequality
The researchers who have written this volume are clear not only that mass poverty is still the leading humanitarian crisis in developing countries, but that, if effective policies are to be put in place, the national elites who control governments and economies need to be convinced of both the reasons why reducing poverty is in their own and the national interest, and that public action can make a difference. Remarkably, in the rapidly growing li…
The Lasting Marriage between Nation and State Despite Globalization
The merger of authority and solidarity that the nation-state accomplished for about 200 years is now threatened by the winds of globalization. As a consequence, the author emphasizes the ways in which the state interacts with both market and civil society are changing significantly. New developments such as the private provision of law and order, the adoption of managerial principles and values in state administration, and the spread of corporate…

A autora destaca, particularmente, a importância da dimensão teórica subjacente às questões de pesquisa. Sugere, ainda, que os processos de mudança que permeiam toda a sociedade contemporânea impulsionam também mudanças no arcabouço teórico e conceptual que modela a maneira como vemos as relações do Estad…
A Global World, Multiple Angles, One Sociological Community
The author calls attention to the need to contemplate systematic spatial comparisons and to embrace an explicit commitment to the analysis of processes with greater determination. In her view, the option for recontextualizing disembodied social players may contribute to a sharper picture of the present day malaise, and hopefully also elicit new interpretations or explanations. She envisages an enlarged role for sociologists as an international co…

Percepções da elite sobre pobreza e desigualdade
O artigo analisa a visão de setores da elite brasileira sobre a pobreza e a desigualdade. Com base no argumento de que as percepções daqueles que comandam recursos estratégicos afetam diretamente a formulação e implementação de políticas sociais, e amparada por alguns estudos pioneiros realizados na Europa e nos Estados Unidos, a autora se propõe a investigar como as conseqüências da pobreza e da desigualdade são vistas fora do mundo dos pobres. …
Elite Perceptions of the Poor
Little is known about the ways in which the elites perceive the poor, especially in those societies where poverty is most prevalent. The poor are dependent on the elites, but the elites are also affected by the poor: their presence creates negative external effects in the lives of the elites (threats such as crime, contagion, pollution, vagrancy and rebellion) but they also represent opportunities for the established strata (as potential workers,…

Pressures for Continuity in the Context of Globalization
This article challenges the widely held assumption that globalization is creating a new type of world society at the expense of the nation-state. Arguments assembled to support this challenge include the reminder that vast social changes are inevitably incremental in character; that increasing complexity rather than revolutionary transformation is the theme of contemporary social changes in the world; that the staying-power of sovereign states is…

Elite Perceptions of Poverty
Summaries The article discusses how Brazilian elites view poverty and social inequality and offers some preliminary comparisons with the perceptions of elites in Bangladesh and South Africa. Based upon survey research, in?depth interviews and newspapers material, it deals with values, beliefs and concrete interests as interrelated dimensions which conform the way the elites see poverty in both cognitive and evaluative terms
As ciências sociais e o bug do milênio
Ao concluir seu mandato como presidente da Anpocs (1996-98), a autora empreende uma reflexão sobre os desafios contemporâneos às ciências sociais. Argumenta que, ante a magnitude e a profundidade das mudanças em curso, as ciências sociais enfrentam a ameaça de se tornarem supérfluas, incapazes de formular questões relevantes e pertinentes aos problemas em curso. Sugere que o antídoto ao bug peculiar às ciências sociais requer novas maneiras de se…
