Brazil, Bolsonaro, and the threat to democracy
TheUSRole in the 1964 Coup inBrazil
The role of theUSin the 1964 coup inBrazil is controversial. When didUSpolicymakers decide to support the coup conspirators, and why? This article reviews some recent works on the 1964 coup and makes two arguments. First, recently declassified documents show that theUSjoined the coup conspiracy only in 1963 not, as some claim, in 1961 or 1962. Second, many scholars do not explain the actions ofUSpolicymakers, or see their decisions as the inevita…
Federalism, multi-level elections and social policy in Brazil and India
Comparative studies often highlight the negative effects of federalism for welfare state expansion. We examine Brazil and India, which have both enhanced their welfare effort despite political fragmentation. We argue that federalism’s effects must be seen together with degrees of party system nationalisation. In Brazil, new social policies have reinforced a move towards greater party system nationalisation. Control over anti-poverty programmes ha…
"Is the Brazilian State "Patrimonial
Patrimonialism is ubiquitous in the analysis of the state in Brazil, a country in which the concept has its own distinctive genealogy. However, patrimonialism has been subject to severe conceptual stretching, limiting its usefulness in comparative analysis. Furthermore, the "commanding heights" of the federal bureaucracy have become more universalistic and merit-based and less patrimonial over the past few years. Patrimonialism is therefore best …
Bolsa Família and democracy in Brazil
The conditional cash transfer (CCT) programme Bolsa Família (Family Allowance), introduced in Brazil in 2003, is one of the largest such programmes in the world. Bolsa Família has played a role in the recent reduction of poverty and income inequality in Brazil. But what has been its impact on democracy? An assumption in the literature on social policy, derived from the European experience, is that targeted programmes such as Bolsa Família divide …
Employment and Development under Globalization
Politics versus Policy
The reform of the public security institutions (especially the police, courts, and prisons) has become a major political issue in much of contemporary Latin America. In Brazil, some police analysts argue that police "politicization" distorts policing and ultimately threatens democracy. This article explores this claim. Drawing on qualitative interviews with officials involved in public security in Recife (Pernambuco, Brazil) it distinguishes betw…

Brazilian Studies Then and Now
In 1912 the Brazilian diplomat and scholar Manuel de Oliveira Lima gave six lectures at Stanford University that encapsulated his views of what we now call Brazilian Studies. This article summarizes Oliveira Lima's lectures. It then points out three aspects of Oliveira Lima's worldview that are problematic from the perspective of the twenty-first century: his Eurocentrism; the unproblematic nature of the nation-state in his thinking; and his larg…
Continuity Is Not Lack of Change
Dilma Rousseff became the first female President of Brazil at the beginning of 2011. How is Brazil faring under President Dilma? How will Dilma's government cope as it attempts to preserve and extend the accomplishments of the prior government of President Lula? While continuity of personnel and policies between Lula and Dilma is the watchword of the new government, continuity is not synonymous with lack of change. This introduction to a series o…
The Neoliberal Turn in Latin America
The role of ideas has been neglected, in comparison with the role of interests and institutions, in the literature on neoliberal reform in Latin America. While ideas were not the primary cause of neoliberal reform, their development, articulation, and dissemination are a significant part of the story of the rise and fall of the "Washington Consensus." The neoliberalism of the 1980s and 1990s lost credibility and capacity to provide politically fe…

The Dialectics of the Brazilian Military Regime's Political Trials
O Brasil tem um dos melhores arquivos de processos l egais autoritários do mundo. O arquivo Brasil: Nunca Mais contém todos os processos políticos na justiça militar que recorreram ao Supremo Tribunal Militar entre 1964 e 1979, durante o regime militar. Este artigo usa documentos do arquivo para analisar a interação entre a lógica dos promotores, dos juízes, e dos advogados de defesa nos processos. O artigo enfatiza as contradições na área legal …

Brazil's Agrarian Reform
The government of Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-2002) redistributed a surprising amount of land to Brazil's landless. Assessing that reform, this study argues that an adequate appreciation of land redistribution must transcend the debate about the number of beneficiaries and place the reform in the larger context of state policies toward land and agriculture. It then asks to what extent such policies under Cardoso represented the dismantling of…

Virtual Legality
Authoritarian regimes in Latin America frequently expanded military court jurisdiction to prosecute political opponents and protect members of the armed forces and police engaged in repression. What happened to the military courts after the recent transitions to democracy in the region? Why did some democratic transitions produce broad reform of military justice while most did not? This article first reviews contending theoretical explanations th…

The Neglected Tragedy
Thestate system during the so-called 'cold war' rested on a paradox. Peace and stability in the developed countries was accompanied by scores of 'hot' wars in the Third World, fuelled and at times created by the United States, the Soviet Union, and their allies. Each superpower had a high incentive to arm client states and rebel armies, in return for political loyalty and access to primary products. Nowhere did the logic of this system have such …

Economic underdevelopment, democracy and civil society
It has become a platitude in the academic marketplace that the world has recently become more democratic. Yet the world is also increasingly divided between rich and poor.' Of the more than 30 countries that have seen some sort of transition away from authoritarianism since 1974, 29 had a 1976 per capita GNP under $3,0003 (p 62). That is, what has been called a global democratic revolution has taken place primarily in developing countries still b…
