  • Understanding how digital mental health interventions can be optimised to improve longer term sustainability: Findings from a causal mediation analysis of the Conemo trials

    Open Access•Nadine Seward, Wen Wei Loh et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2025

    Two CONEMO trials in Lima, Peru and São Paulo, Brazil evaluated a digital mental health intervention (DMHI) based on behavioural activation (BA), that demonstrated improved symptoms of depression at three, but not six-months. To understand how we can optimize features of the DMHI to improve outcomes for longer-term effectiveness and eventually scale-up, we investigated mediators through which the intervention improved symptoms of depression, sepa…

  • Rivalry without War? The WTO and Institutional Change Beyond the Thucydides Trap

    Open Access•Ivan Filipe De Almeida Lopes Fernandes, Luís Fernando De Paiva Baracho Cardoso…•ARTICLE•Revista Brasileira de Política…•2025•References: 3

    How do international institutions adapt to structural changes in global power? We examine the WTO amid escalating US-China tensions. The WTO, central to the post-Cold War order, faces a multidimensional crisis exacerbated by the trade tensions between these nations. We assess the Thucydides Trap crisis within institutional change literature through four pieces of evidence: (i) the case of non-recognition of China as a market economy; (ii) USA-Chi…

  • Analyzing prejudice against immigrants in sending countries: The Brazilian case

    Open Access•Feliciano De Sá Guimarães, Ivan Filipe De Almeida Lopes Fernandes•ARTICLE•Latin American Policy•2024•References: 26

    Prejudice against immigrants has been widely studied in the literature, but analyzing immigrant‐receiving countries is not the same as analyzing sending countries, where the number of immigrants is very low. To address this gap, we examine the case of Brazil, a country that has witnessed numerous anecdotal episodes of prejudice against immigrants despite having a very low flow of migrants and therefore minimal material effects on the local popula…

  • A Farewell to Arms: Brazilian Politics and Blame Avoidance during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open Access•Ivan Filipe De Almeida Lopes Fernandes, Gustavo Andrey De Almeida Lopes…•ARTICLE•Bulletin of Latin American Research•2024•References: 37

    Brazil was one of the countries most affected by COVID-19. Many deaths could have been avoided by implementing severe non-pharmaceutical interventions. Despite support for stay-at-home requirements and masking mandates from subnational authorities, the president actively pushed back against it. What are the consequences of the political pressures against measures to mitigate virus dissemination and the utmost prioritisation of short-term economic…

  • O Brasil como potência emergente no Sul Global no novo cenário internacional: Ameaças e possibilidades diante da mudança hegemônica

    Open Access•Ivan Filipe De Almeida Lopes Fernandes•ARTICLE•Revista Estudos do Século XX•2023

    O objetivo deste estudo é discutir as opções na política externa brasileira face às transformações do sistema internacional. Diante de um ambiente mais tenso e a posição periférica, questiona-se: deve o país escolher lados ou manter sua autonomia? Argumentamos que a ação brasileira deve retomar as heranças da sua atuação estratégica frente a contestações hegemônicas anteriores. A situação atual reduz o espaço para a ação hegemônica e abre possibi…

  • For whom the bell tolls: Party mediation effects on economic voting in a large democratic federation

    Open Access•Ivan Filipe De Almeida Lopes Fernandes, Gustavo Andrey De Almeida Lopes…•ARTICLE•Politics & Policy•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 30

    This article analyzes the effect of economic growth on executive elections in the context of a multilevel governance structure and how party ties across federal, state, and local levels affect the relationship, using data from Brazilian municipalities. We test the hypothesis that the president is the main politician accountable for economic performance, measured by local growth, and that party politics moderates the evaluation of the economic per…

  • United we stand and divided we fall: Coalitions in the Gatt/WTO negotiations

    Open Access•Gabriel Cepaluni, Ivan Filipe De Almeida Lopes Fernandes•ARTICLE•International Political Science…•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 26

    Coalition formation is considered an important tool to leverage bargaining power in GATT/WTO negotiations. While most of the literature has focused on developing countries, we show that sizable economies are the primary users of coalitions at the GATT/WTO. We also find evidence that middle powers do not exhibit distinctive collectivist behavior at the WTO. There is a linear and strong relationship between countries’ economic power—measured as rea…

  • Structuring Public Opinion on Foreign Policy Issues: The Case of Brazil

    Open Access•Maria Hermínia Tavares De Almeida, Ivan Filipe Fernandes et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Research Review•2021

    This article analyzes the structure and the stability of Brazilian public attitudes toward foreign policy issues. It argues that Brazilian attitudes on foreign affairs are more structured and stable than has previously been believed. It asserts that deep and historical beliefs about Brazil’s role in international affairs, such as pacifism and protagonism, are responsible for creating reasonably consistent and stable public attitudes toward specif…

  • The BRICS and Brazilian public opinion: Soft balancing or economic strategy

    Open Access•Ivan Filipe De Almeida Lopes Fernandes, Vinicius Ruiz Albino de Freitas et al.•ARTICLE•Revista Brasileira de Política…•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 8

    The paper examines Brazilians’ attitudes toward the BRICS, verifying whether the soft balancing strategy finds support on public opinion, by using survey data from the Brazil, the Americas and the World Project. Results indicate that the attitudes toward the BRICS countries are similar to those toward other relevant partners. Moreover, attitudes toward the BRICS are not associated with a rejection of the US, which points to the possibility of sof…

  • O bolso ou a ideologia? Determinantes da opinião dos brasileiros sobre globalização e livre comércio

    Open Access•Flávio Pinheiro, Ivan Filipe De Almeida Lopes Fernandes et al.•ARTICLE•Opinião Pública•2021•References: 38

    O artigo discute os determinantes das opiniões dos brasileiros sobre a integração da economia brasileira aos mercados globais, analisando dados de survey nacional, realizado no âmbito do projeto "O Brasil, as Américas e o mundo". Mostramos que os brasileiros, em boa medida, são favoráveis à abertura internacional de nossa economia e que suas atitudes são guiadas tanto por motivações econômicas como por ideias e valores políticos.

  • The failures of horizontal accountability at the subnational level: A perspective from the Global South

    Gustavo Andrey De Almeida Lopes Fernandes, Marco Antônio C Teixeira et al.•ARTICLE•Development in Practice•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 16

    In new democracies, horizontal accountability tends to be more fragile than vertical since authoritarian institutional legacies are more difficult to transform than organising free and fair elections. These barriers to full democratisation are stronger at subnational levels, where local old authoritarian elites are better able to hold institutional power and block transformations. This viewpoint presents data from Brazil, one of the strongest dem…

  • Domestic Attitudes toward Regional Leadership: A Survey Experiment in Brazil

    Open Access•Feliciano De Sá Guimarães, Ivan Filipe Fernandes et al.•ARTICLE•Foreign Policy Analysis•2019•Cited by: 3•References: 23

    In this paper, we analyze citizens’ attitudes toward regional leadership, employing two sets of survey experiments. Using Brazil as a case study, we analyze the first set of experiments with two types of regional leadership—structural and institutional—across three different regional issues—economic integration, regime change, and regional conflict. We found that Brazilians do not support either type of leadership, whether in regional conflict or…

  • Flying in Clear Skies: Technical Arguments Influencing Anac Regulations

    Open Access•Marcello Fragano Baird, Ivan Filipe De Almeida Lopes Fernandes•ARTICLE•Brazilian Political Science Review•2014•Cited by: 2•References: 17

    Regulatory agencies possess the particularity of being controlled by non-elected politicians whose power is derived from delegations made by incumbent powers. There exists, however, a concern with the creation of institutional mechanisms that permit public participation, thus guaranteeing greater democratization and social control of the regulatory process. One of these participatory mechanisms is the public hearing, which was not given much atte…
