Democracy and Brazil: Collapse and Regression discusses the de-democratization process underway in contemporary Brazil.
The relative political stability that characterized domestic politics in the 2000s ended with the sudden emergence of a series of massive protests in 2013, followed by the controversial impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in 2016 and the election of Jair Bolsonaro in 2018. In this new, more conservative period in Brazilian politics, a series of institutional reforms deepened the distance between citizens and representatives. Brazil's current political crisis cannot be understood without reference to the continual growth of right-wing and ultra-right discourse, on the one hand, and to the neoliberal ideology that pervades the minds of large parts of the Brazilian elite, on the other. Twenty experts on Brazil across different fields discuss the ongoing political turmoil in the light of distinct problems: geopolitics, gender, religion, media, indigenous populations, right-wing strategies, and new forms of coup, among others. Updated analyses enriched with historical perspective help to illuminate the intricate issues that will determine the country's fate in years to come.
Democracy and Brazil: Collapse and Regression will interest students and scholars of Brazilian Politics and History, Latin America, and the broader field of democracy studies.

Recenzii

'Understanding the Brazilian ‘case’ of authoritarian counter-revolution is crucial both to support its citizens and to clarify the stakes of a global struggle. This volume is an essential contribution which we all need to study.'
Etienne Balibar, Ancien Professeur à l’Université de Paris-Nanterre, Anniversary Chair in Modern European Philosophy
'The example of Brazil is clearly presented as an appropriate terrain for beginning to understand the new constellation of dominant powers in the present phase of global politics.'
Marilena Chauí, Professor Emeritus of the University of São Paulo and Professor Honoris Causa of the Université de Paris VIII
'The still young democracy in Brazil is at its most perilous moment after its reestablishment from dictatorship rule. What happened that in the course of less than a decade, Brazil moved from a social democratic regime, to impeachment of its first female President, and then to new authoritarian regime that uses the democratic tools and particularly the mass media, to undermine democracy and the public sphere? The plurality of perspectives underlying the contributions to this volume come together in an in-depth understanding of the on-going attacks on progressive politics. This book-is-a-must to read for those interested in the future of democracy in Latin America and Brazil.'
Carlos Alberto Torres, Distinguished Professor at UCLA and Director of Paulo Freire Institute
