Beyond Jobs
Recent scholarship shows that public attitudes toward foreign direct investment (FDI) are shaped by non-economic factors such as ethnocentrism, nationalism, and foreign threat perceptions. However, the influence of socially irresponsible behavior by investing firms on such attitudes remains underexplored. In this research note, we investigate individuals’ preferences regarding socially irresponsible FDI through a conjoint experiment conducted in …
Introducing the Latin American Transnational Surveillance (Lats) dataset
Transnational surveillance is a powerful tool in the arsenal of autocrats the world over. Despite its pervasive use in extraterritorial coercion, the systematic study of surveillance of regime opponents beyond national borders remains underdeveloped in political science, primarily due to limited data availability. To help fill this gap, we constructed the Latin American Transnational Surveillance dataset, a micro-level dataset based on declassifi…
The Coalition Against Democratic Backsliding in Bolsonaro's Brazil
This case study explores democratic backsliding in Brazil that was accompanied by Jair Bolsonaro's rise to power and his push for autocratization. Bolsonaro's presidency was characterized by systematic attacks on democratic institutions, including efforts to undermine the judiciary, the legislature, and electoral integrity. A broad prodemocracy coalition of political parties, state governors, civil society, and the judiciary emerged to resist Bol…
Public Support for Nuclear Proliferation
How do mass publics in nonnuclear weapon states form their preferences over the acquisition of nuclear weapons? We field a survey experiment in Brazil, a possessor of uranium-enrichment capabilities with a long history of nuclear ambitions. Three sets of results support the view that members of the public approach nuclear proliferation strategically, that is, by taking into account how their home state interacts with enemies and allies alike. Fir…
Nationalist Backlash Against Foreign Climate Shaming
Should international pro-climate actors speak up against climate rogues, or do foreign critics risk igniting nationalist backlash against global environmental norms and institutions? We explore naming and shaming dynamics in global climate politics by fielding survey experiments to nationally representative samples in Brazil. Our results show that nationalism moderates public reactions to foreign climate shaming: individuals who are highly attach…
Strategies of rising Brazil
Brazil in the early 2000s underwent a process of perceived ascent in the global pecking order, leading scholars to explore the statecraft and strategy behind it. Now that Brazil's fortunes in world politics have reversed it is time to dissect the purported strategies for upwards mobility of that time. This article draws on the concept of Strategic Diplomacy advanced in this special section to review the literatures on rising Brazil in the English…
The Age of Hiroshima
We Are Not a Nonproliferation Agency”
In the aftermath of India's first nuclear explosion in 1974, U.S. officials concluded that Brazil posed a growing proliferation risk, and they proposed to target Brazil with a new set of nonproliferation policies that included the denial of fuel-cycle technologies. However, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger expressed doubt that such an approach would curb Brazilian nuclear ambitions. Pushing back against influential voices in the U.S. Congress, …

Political scientists have long debated the merits of multiparty presidentialism. The dominant view that has emerged over the past decade is that presidents can effectively build coalitions by sharing control over the executive's vast resources with coalition partners in the legislature. This paper provides a more pessimistic account, focused on the problems of accountability created by powerful presidents working to build coalitions in fragmented…

Ideias de ativismo regional
Este artigo estuda a transformação progressiva das leituras brasileiras sobre o ambiente regional durante as décadas de 1990 e 2000. Inicialmente, o ensaio caracteriza o padrão brasileiro de ativismo regional à luz das principais iniciativas adotadas pelo país e dos métodos utilizados para lidar com os obstáculos e ambiguidades inerentes à sua política regional. Em seguida, apresenta o leque de novos conceitos estratégicos que vêm informando o co…
Globalização e Estado nas revoluções globais de 1968
Este artigo captura a tensão entre globalização e Estados nacionais por meio de um estudo de caso sobre as respostas conservadoras aos eventos revolucionários de 1968 no chamado Sul global. A primeira parte do artigo apresenta a narrativa de 1968 no mundo em desenvolvimento. Em seguida, o artigo lida como o modo pelo qual elites locais responderam a esses desafios, fortalecendo seus controles autoritários e estabelecendo laços preferenciais com o…
Origens e direção do Pragmatismo Ecumênico e Responsável (1974-1979)
Ao longo de seu governo, o presidente Geisel e seu chanceler, Azeredo da Silveira, promoveram mudanças sistemáticas na política externa do país sob a égide do Pragmatismo Ecumênico e Responsável (1974-1979). O programa buscava projetar o Brasil na hierarquia internacional de poder, tirando vantagens de um sistema internacional singularmente flexível. Sua lógica articulou aspectos tradicionais da política externa brasileira com elementos típicos d…
O Brasil e a Argentina entre a cordialidade oficial e o projeto de integração
Este artigo busca identificar os fatores que concorrem para explicar a mudança no eixo entre a Argentina e o Brasil, no começo da década de 1980, quando as duas diplomacias convergiram em um projeto de integração inovador. O argumento apresentado defende que a aproximação entre os dois países foi o legado, inesperado, do relacionamento bilateral ao longo da gestão do Presidente Geisel (1974-1979)
