Political Liberalization in Brazil: Dynamics, Dilemmas, and Future Prospects
Internationalizing General Education: The First-Year Seminar on Political Self-Determination and Internet-Based Political Research

Specifically, it describes the model of a first-year seminar on political self-determination, developed at Elizabethtown College, in which students prepare case studies of contemporary conflicts and present research at an undergraduate research conferen…

Democratic Brazil: Actors, Institutions, and Processes
The Politics of Decentralized Federalism, National Diversification, and Regionalism in Brazil
Wayne A. Selcher, The Politics of Decentralized Federalism, National Diversification, and Regionalism in Brazil, Journal of Interamerican Studies and World Affairs, Vol. 40, No. 4, Special Issue: Brazil: The Challenge of Constitutional Reform (Winter, 1998), pp. 25-50
A New Start Toward a More Decentralized Federalism in Brazil
Brazil's political history can be read as a cyclical alternation between centralization and decentralization—a contest between the center and the periphery. Centralizing tendencies reached one height under the “Estado Novo” of Getúlio Vargas (1937–1945) and peaked again under a series of military governments from 1964 to 1985. Forces favoring regionalism and more state and local autonomy have been given impetus during the 1980s by trends of regio…
Political Liberalization in Brazil; Dynamics, Dilemmas, and Future Prospects
Current Dynamics and Future Prospects of Brazil's Relations with Latin America: Toward a Pattern of Bilateral Cooperation
Socio-Economic or General Cultural Similarities between Brazil and the rest of Latin America would seem sufficient to support similarities of interests and close cooperative relationships. Yet Brazil's Lusophone culture, the immensity of the country, the geographical distance of much of its population from Spanish American population centers, and middle and upper class fascination for things American or European led instead to a sense of separate…
Brazilian-Argentine Relations in the 1980s: From Wary Rivalry to Friendly Competition
Events Since 1979 have steadily softened the long-dominant tone of rivalry in Brazilian-Argentine relations; and the two countries have established mutual levels of confidence, and institutional mechanisms, sufficient to support increased degrees of cooperation. The mutual understanding, formally confirmed during a landmark visit, in May 1980, by Brazilian President Joâo Figueiredo to Argentine President Jorge Videla, in Buenos Aires, is attribut…

Brazil's Multilateral Relations: Between First and Third Worlds
The National Security Doctrine and Policies of the Brazilian Government
The authoritarian military regime which has governed Brazil since 1964 is guided by a philosophy referred to as the 'national security doctrine,' which conditions the leadership's view of the world and how it defines the domestic and international interest and priorities of Brazil. Its origins, contents, diffusion, and impact on society is central to an understanding of civilian-military relations and the formulation of policy in Brazil today. (A…
"Brazilian Relations with Portuguese Africa in the Context of the Elusive "Luso-Brazilian Community
The year of 1972 brought the marked aggravation of a series of political-economic conflicts in Brazil's relations with developing countries outside the Western Hemisphere, calling into serious question the continued viability of its efforts of several years to maintain good relations with both Portugal and the nonaligned states (particularly those of Africa). Following successful tours of Latin American countries in 1971, Foreign Minister Mário G…
